This year has brought a fresh set of economic obstacles to newspapers, following what were already challenging years. A discussion at the Senior Leadership Conference will focus on how newspapers are dealing with increases in raw materials, rising distribution costs, labor shortages, recruiting difficulties and other operational factors impacting the business. Ideas generated by this session alone should pay for the cost of the meeting.
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.
