ASNE and NAA meetings in DC

David Johnson April 15th, 2008

While the broadcasting world is confabbing in fabulous Vegas at the fabulous NAB, the stodgy old newspaper business is holding their mega-meeting in the stodgy old beltway. The Newspaper Association of American and American Society of News Editors have converged on the Washington Convention Center for Capital Conference ‘08. All three presidential hopefuls are scheduled as speakers, and the show floor as usual is jam packed with presses, image setters and other massive machines for producing and distributing dead tree products. One of the more interesting sessions for the LR faithful was a breakfast held by Apple that featured the Emmy-award winning video content produced by the Detroit Free Press.
