Holy conference week, Batman! In addition to NAB, two conferences attracting newspaper editors and managers are up and running today.
The American Society of News Editors conference is back this year (it was canceled last year) and Eric Schmidt kicked off the event with some insightful remarks. The conference is being held in Washington, DC and the hashtag is #asne10. People to follow for good coverage include @ryansholin, @stevebuttry and @webbmedia.
Meanwhile, the Newspaper Association of America is hosting its annual conference and trade show, MediaXchange, in Orlando. The hashtag is #naamcx10 and some good people to follow for coverage include @cpetersia and @blawtonnaa.
The NAA conference is mostly focused on revenue and advertising while the ASNE conference traditionally focuses on journalism and audience (and this year – paywalls!). Both are relevant for anyone following local media.
