Call for ideas for the 13th World Editors Forum

Posted by B. Pecquerie on October 14, 2005 at 12:40 PM

The 13th World Editors Forum will be held in Moscow, Russia from 4 to 7 June 2006, together with the annual Newspapers Congress.

Globally there will be more than 1,200 editors and publishers, as in June 2005 in Seoul (12th World Editors Forum). It is a unique occasion for networking with senior news executives from around the world.

We will publish very soon the major elements of the Forum's programme, but already if you have ideas - or wishes - of topics and suggestions for speakers, don't hesitate to contact me (see the "contact us" button).
