Australian Newsagency Blog

I’ve booked to attend the Media and Broadcasting Congress in Sydney next month. The program looks excellent. Graeme Samuel is speaking on Media Mergers: Competition or Consolidation. There are CEO level speakers from Yahoo7, ninemsn and Crikey among others. Tony Hale, the CEO for the recetly formed newspaper works. I want to understand more about the challenges my humble newsagency will face in the disrupted world.

Before I get to Sydney I will be in Vienna for Beyond the Printed Word - a conference on digital publishing for newspaper publishers. I’ll get to hear about innovation from around the world by publishers pursuing opportunities online. My interest is more from the perspective of the Find It online classifieds business and what we could learn from publisher experiences.
