Editors Weblog Re-Launched With New Functions
Posted by Larry Kilman on February 27, 2008 at 1:52 PM
The World Editors Forum has re-launched its Editors Weblog to increase functionality and make it easier to navigate.
The weblog now has new sharing and social networking tools and produces a daily e-mail newsletter that is sent to thousands of editors each day. It also has a new, modern appearance.
WEF, the organisation within the World Association of Newspapers for senior newsroom personnel, launched the weblog in 2004. It has since become the premier international weblog on newsroom issues, with more than 1,600 unique visitors each day.
To celebrate the relaunch, WEF is conducting a series of interviews with editors-in-chief from major publications around the world, about the future of newspapers and the news industry, on the theme of “News, journalism, newspapers: same past, different futures?”
Contributing publications include the Financial Times, the Washington Post, Canada's Globe & Mail, the Hindustan Times, Fairfax publications in Australia, Punch in Nigeria, and many others. The series kicked off today with Jim Brady, Executive Editor of washingtonpost.com.
Other recent posts include:
- From traditional to digital: Skyrock Blogs’ phenomenal transition from French radio broadcaster to digital publisher, with more than half of its revenues coming from new media.
- Hindustan Times' integration: top-down, video-heavy, an examination of fundamental changes to the Times' organisation and working culture.
- A two-part series on Zero Hora’s integration, providing a look at the Brazilian company's cross-platform workflows, and a process in which journalists are also functioning as editors.
The new Editors Weblog also offers advertising on both the website and daily newsletter. Advertisers are invited to download the media kit or contact Sales and Marketing Manager Jodie Hopperton.
The Paris-based World Editors Forum (http://www.worldeditorsforum.org ) is the organisation of the World Association of Newspapers that represents editors-in-chief and other senior news executives. WAN, the global organisation for the newspaper industry, represents 18,000 newspapers; its membership includes 76 national newspaper associations, newspapers and newspaper executives in 102 countries, 12 news agencies and ten regional and world-wide press groups.
