Print and Where It’s Going

A Conversation With Key Editors

Teleseminar

Join us for our first PRSA Entertainment and Sports Section teleseminar.

Mark Miller from the U.S. Bowling Congress will lead the Entertainment and Sports Section in a conversation about print and where it’s going. Find out how newspapers are positioning entertainment and sports stories, along with how coverage of these topics are being shared across print outlets and expanding into social networking tools.

Discussion topics will include:

• Is the consolidation of newspaper sections a cost cutting trend?
• Are journalists being asked to expand their scope of coverage to different areas?
• Are newspaper staffs being cut across the board?
• How are print publications using the web to expand their coverage?
• Where is cost cutting most efficient for newspapers?
• What is the future of print? Will everything move online?
