How small steps can give big results in engaging the young -- for both their benefit and yours
The upcoming World Young Reader Conference (27-30 September in Prague) will offer an unprecedented array of practical strategies to connect to the young in new ways that help your newspaper and also those young readers. We have made it a point to concentrate on cost-effective actions that can yield results in a wide array of settings.
So, if you care about the young and want to find out how to help your newspaper be smarter about building their loyalty, especially in these difficult times, click HERE. The conference will also feature workshops, study visits and individual coaching.

English-speaking young people from around the world can attend the innovative new "Junioroom" summer journalism camp organized by the International Media Training Centre  based in Prague.

Two week-long sessions in Prague for 10- to 16-year-olds will offer young people the chance to learn journalism in a converged setting, creating news for print, video and audio broadcast in a state-of-the-art integrated newsroom. Sessions, which will be held in English, run from 8 to 15 and 15 to 20 August. The 400 Euro fee covers everything but transport to and from Prague. Details HERE.
