WHAT'S NEXT: INNOVATIONS IN NEWSPAPERS

Good news from INMA headquarters:

Next week’s Oxford Tablet Summit sold out, waiting list availability only

You don’t hear the words “sold out” at industry conferences these days.

Yet that is precisely the case for next week’s INMA/Innovation Media Consulting Oxford Tablet Summit in the United Kingdom.

With 140 delegates from 31 countries, “Tablets: A Second Life for Newspapers and Magazines” at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford on Tuesday, May 18, is now available only via waiting list.

These 14o delegates, speakers and INMA staff leaves the Summit with no more space except late cancellations, if they occur.

The summit will focus on how publishers can benefit from the launch of the iPad and other tablet devices.

What does this mean for journalism?

And, bottom-line, where’s the money in these new digital platforms?
