Webinars offer digital insight to newspaper editors

4 Jun 2010

Newspapers need to have global and coherent mobile strategy - it is not just about the iPad, the iPhone, mobile optimised web applications or mobile editors - it is about all of these at the same time. To bring editors up to speed, the World Editors Forum will hold three one-hour webinars in June 2010, on 'Mobile strategies for newspapers: how to build a global, coherent and appealing mobile content offer'.

Webinars offer digital insight to newspaper editors

With a three for the price of two offer of €118, South African editors can access exclusive presentation by a top editor, followed by an interactive Q&A time, during which the speaker will answer in real-time.

Webinars will be held on Tuesday 15, 22 and 29 June at 3pm South African time and will teach participants everything they need to know about mobile news, offering experience from newspapers which are already working on it.
