We are brainstorming ideas for a new international multimedia training center for journalists and guiding plans for the launch of dozens of new newspapers for the Czech readers.
This just in: The World Association of Newspapers has decided to postpone its World Newspaper Congress, World Editors Forum and Info Services Expo, scheduled to be held in Hyderabad, India from 22 to 25 March, until December, due to the impact of the global financial downturn on newspaper companies.
I was scheduled to present at the World Editors Forum in Hyderabad, India in March and I guess I am not surprised that the event will be delayed.

I often describe them as the Olympics of journalism meetups. The host country’s president usually opens the congress and the delegates are all publishers, owners or editors-in-chief. A fascinating group of global media decision-makers.
WAN usually holds these congresses in June and this one was going on a fast-track nine month plan that has been slowed down due to the global economic crisis.

See the schedule below:
