This will be the first time the annual conference will take place in Africa, and it is expected to draw more than 1,500 editors, publishers and newspaper executives. The events, lectures and networking opportunities are shaping to be richer than ever before.

In light of a recent study by the Carnegie-Knight Task Force on the Future of Journalism, which found that many U.S. newspapers fail to encourage students to use their online editions, the World Young Reader Conference will be held in Washington, D.C., from 24 to 28 March. The conference will feature case studies and editors who will explain who to enhance print usage along with innovative digital strategies for younger readers.
