Senior Leadership Conference session:
Subscription revenue
Register before rates increase Sept. 9
|
|
Digital subscription growth is a big part of most publishers' budgets, but what is the right mix? What’s the future for digital and print advertising revenue?
Registration fees for the Senior Leadership Conference will increase $100 per person next month. Newspaper executives are encouraged to register now to save on conference fees.
Rates will increase after 5 p.m. EDT on Friday, Sept. 9.
The Senior Leadership Conference, set for Oct. 16-18 in New Orleans, is the most important meeting of the year for newspaper publishers, owners and leaders.
This isn’t your typical meeting. The focus is on interactive discussions on the critical issues facing our industry. This meeting isn’t full of PowerPoint presentations; rather, it is consumed with the search for the solutions needed for success. Each session provides opportunities to learn from what others are doing and to share your experiences with your peers.

Congress, give local news a fighting chance against tech giants (Editorial Board Opinion)
The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act would give local news outlets a temporary reprieve from antitrust laws, allowing them to band together to negotiate with Facebook and Google for a bigger cut of the revenue they make from republishing our content. If the tech companies won’t come to the table or negotiate in good faith, they would be forced into binding arbitration. News publishers could withhold their content from the platforms if they won’t pay for it.
Think about what your Facebook feed or Google search would look like without the rigorously reported news, information, accountability and investigative journalism produced by local publishers like Syracuse.com/The Post-Standard. The stream of sludge left behind would hardly be worth your time. Google and Facebook do not employ local journalists and never will.
The tech platforms know the value our content brings to their businesses. They don’t want the free ride to end. They also know news publishers are forced to depend on Google and Facebook to grow their audiences. The powerful tech duopoly has no incentive to come to the bargaining table. That’s why news publishers need this law.

Congress can save the press from Big Tech’s iron grip. Here’s how
By Douglas E. Schoen, a Democratic pollster and strategist
Support for the JCPA is not limited to one demographic or political group. A vast coalition of Americans wants to see the bill passed. In a time of increasing divisions in America, the JCPA is one of the rare bills that unites voters. For the past four decades, I have worked in opinion research and have rarely seen a bill garner so much support.
Across the board, Americans understand the severity of Big Tech’s threat. More importantly, Americans are united in curbing Big Tech’s undue power and profiteering in the news and publishing industries.
The JCPA is essential legislation to protect the free press and conservative and diverse voices. Congress must listen to Americans, protect small and local news outlets, and pass the JCPA.
