New speakers join ‘Managing the Crisis' conference

Maeve Donovan, MD of The Irish Times, Ben Hammersley, a journalist and ‘technologist' at Wired Magazine, and Rainer Esser, MD of Die Zeit, have joined the programme of the ‘Managing the Crisis' conference, to be held at the Frontline Media Club in London on 28-29 September 2009.

WAN-IFRA has also launched a ‘Managing the Crisis' blog for speakers, participation and anyone interested in contributing to the topic; it can be found at http://managingthecrisis.blogspot.com.

In addition to financial pressures, the conference will focus on the impact of evolving consumers, competition from traditional and non-traditional sources, new personnel requirements, technological changes and how management can avoid being overwhelmed by these changes.
