Coverage from the 2009 SNPA News Industry Summit

Members of the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association gathered Oct. 18-20 in Naples, Fla., to talk about capitalizing on newspapers’ dominant position in the marketplace and ways they can seize the many opportunities that are available to them through technology and innovation.

As SNPA President Donna Barrett told attendees at the Monday morning general session, “We are not here to wring our hands about the recession or to talk about the demise of newspapers. To the contrary, we are here to discuss the tremendous strengths of newspapers, to separate – as Earl Wilkinson says – facts from fiction, and to examine how this industry can best position itself for the economic recovery that many of us already are beginning to see.”
