"I strongly believe that every US newspaper should be represented during WAN’s conferences. The World Association of Newspapers addresses subject matters that are filled with innovation; there are new ideas and initiatives that US newspapers could adapt that would translate into revenue and dollars. Nothing like this have I seen in the United States."

“A conference like this allows us to share the thoughts of newspaper which are confronted with the same changes as us. Studying how they evolve: which organisations they choose, which investments they make, what the market response is. We benefit from this in our own evolution, making the necessary adjustments with a more national perspective.”
