NEWS FROM THE MEDIA SCENE

Trends in Newsrooms 2009 released

The World Editors Forum (WEF) has released its annual media survey, Trends in Newsrooms 2009. The publication contains reports and ideas on the latest in media today, including successful and cost-effective ideas in multimedia development and integration.

Confused by Twitter and its significance? Want to be more competitive for advertising dollars? Not sure how to integrate print and digital content? This year’s edition contains case studies, as well as interviews with top newsroom executives and analysis of current media trends. Trends in Newsrooms 2009 shares ideas from newsrooms around the world, as editors and journalists across the globe face financial constraints and technological changes.

Eight chapters give in-depth looks at the latest developments in the newsrooms of the world’s top publications. The report shares ideas on how to most effectively use video and other multimedia platforms to share news, as well as how to make these media forms profitable.

Journalists in Africa who are still picking up on online journalism can possibly cut costs by publishing news online, but the challenge remains to find readers in Africa who have easy access to the Internet.

“In some ways, Internet is both a blessing and a curse for African journalists,” explained Bertrand Pecquerie, director of the World Editors Forum. “A blessing, because it is possible to create new media at a low cost, even on a daily basis (blog, newsletter...). And censorship is more difficult on digital platforms than on print. But the Internet is also a curse, because very few Africans have free access or low cost access to the Internet. So the contradiction is that, if news production becomes easier, for the audience it is still rather costly. And very few African regimes will fight for a free flow of information...”

Trends in Newsrooms 2009 is based on the best postings from the Editors Weblog (www.editorsweblog.org), a publication of WEF that tracks the daily innovations in newspapers around the world.
