Journalists are literally doing this all the time. What makes you think that engineers and doctors are the only people who have conferences? Also, if we're talking about industry, most tech conferences are hardly very self-critical (this is changing at some conferences) most are about selling products to developers / other people in the tech industry or self-promotion and recruiting.

Can you show me where to find conference papers written by journalists on how to do journalism better? I thought maybe the site hosting this article was one, but it appears to not be the case judging from the contents (it may think it is).
