13th World Editors Forum: Editorial Strategies for the "Free Generation"

Posted by John Burke on March 31, 2006 at 5:18 PM

In many countries the average age of newspaper readers is over 50. Younger generations are not replacing older readers. Instead they are accustomed to getting their news from free papers and free Internet sites, essentially making them the "free generation."

What can newspapers do to adapt to the changing habits of youth? The 13th World Editors Forum being held in Moscow from June 4-7 will explore new strategies that newspapers can use in connecting with the "free generation."

The Forum's wide array of choice speakers will discuss such pertinent topics as:

  • embracing citizen journalism
  • offering multimedia services
  • developing weekend editions and supplements
  • adapting news to various platforms

With already 600 editors and publishers from around the globe on their way to Moscow eager to learn about the most innovative ideas in the newspaper industry, this is a conference you can't miss! Sign up now!
