WAN-Ifra will partner the NAA to take the World Newspaper Congress to Washington next year.

Traditionally, the NAA holds its mediaXchange event in the city in a presidential election year, the next being 2016.

The 67th World Newspaper Congress and 22nd World Editors Forum will be held from June 1-3, 2015. Details are at http://www.wan-ifra.org/DC2015



The Congress and Editors Forum – held annually since 1948 – have been held in the USA on five previous occasions, including in Washington in 1970 and 1996.

Newspaper Association of America president and chief executive Caroline Little says she is thrilled to welcome the Congress to Washington in 2015: “The event is a tremendous opportunity for global publishers, editors and advertisers to gather and exchange ideas about the future of our industry.

“We look forward to showcasing how the US newspaper industry has transformed by innovating its print, digital and mobile offerings.”



WAN-Ifra chief executive Vincent Peyrègne says the event is returning to Washington at a crucial time: “A gathering of publishers and editors from more than 80 countries in the American capital will be an opportunity for a wide exchange of business strategies, editorial practices and policy positions that will be beneficial for all.”
