 "WEF adds great value to the ongoing global conversation about the future of newspapers by recapping and organizing the main points once a year. In ordering and prioritizing recurring issues, 'Trends in Newsrooms' suggests where editors should put their time and effort. It's a great service." Gloria B. Anderson "It is a wonderful tool for journalists around the world. I admire the speed with which it updates information and am fascinated by the quality of debate. This is a tremendous achievement by the World Editors Forum." Kim Fletcher "In times of radical transition, in which the media industry currently finds itself, it is important to know what others are doing. What they are planning? Why are they successful? Why have they failed? Nobody in the press industry should be without the information and analysis provided by Trends in Newsrooms." Eric Le Boucher Editorial Editor, Le Monde (France) "Trends in Newsrooms is one of the few sources that can help you to make sense of what is happening in the fast moving world of media. It gives you ideas and inspiration to innovate." Frits van Exter Executive Editor, Trouw (The Netherlands) "TRENDS IN NEWSROOMS is always very helpful in helping editors to find what is being done in this business around the world, which kind of innovations are successful, how they can improve the management of theirs teams and try new ideas and editorial products that can improve the readership." José Manuel Fernandes Editor, PÚBLICO (Portugal) "The Report spots trends, analyses them, and assesses their value. It is a reliable instrument for the serious media watcher, indeed indispensable in these times of incredible and continuous change." Bachi Karkaria "Trends in Newsrooms is not only a vital source of information on our profession’s tendencies and procedures, it also analyzes areas of concern in the short-and medium-term of any news editor no matter what kind of newspaper or market he or she works." Hugo Marcone City Desk Editor, El Mercurio (Chile) About the Newsroom Barometer "So, according to 435 of the world's editors-in-chief, deputy editors and senior news executives, nobody has killed the newspaper. That's the key point to emerge from a mammoth and optimistic six-part report into newsroom trends carried out by the research firm Zogby International. It should be read in full, especially the final analyses by John Zogby and Jeff Jarvis." Roy Greenslade - World editors' survey: papers are alive and kicking "I think the study really reflects the enormous challenges that face journalism. In this country (South Africa) many editors are acutely aware of the changes and are preparing for them, while others act more like ostriches by burying their heads in the sand. Those that believe that print will reign supreme are probably the ostriches." Anton Harber - South Africa: Can Papers Breathe Oxygen in Cyberspace? |
