Growing Readership Workshop

Growing Readership Workshop . 13 & 14 Dec 2005 . Le Meridien Dubai

Readership at many newspapers is declining. What's happening? How do we arrest the decline before it becomes a tidal wave? Where can we find new readers? How to turn them into loyal readers? What roles have non-editorial departments got in this scenario? Ifra is organising a two-day workshop in Dubai to help newspapers in the Gulf region come to terms with this vexing problem.

Experts from the United States , Europe & Australia will be on hand to discuss, guide, help and strategise with CEOs, publishers, general managers, editors-in-chief, editors and senior journalists during two days of intensive, hands-on sessions.
