What is the World Editors Forum?

The World Editors Forum is the only network exclusively dedicated to senior newsroom editors from across the globe. Its main missions are to represent them, to defend editorial excellence, to provide editorial services and to define the future of journalism. Of course, it is also involved into defense of free speech and the right of the public to truthful information.

Are you curious as to how fellow editors at other papers in other countries inspire their staff? Do you want to stretch your editorial budget to publish both blockbusters and solid day-to-day coverage? Are you anxious about media convergence and how other editors are doing it? Are you confused about citizen journalism and what it means for your job as an editor? The World Editors Forum will help you find the answers to your questions.

In the Forum you can share ideas, experiences and research on how to face the challenges of the future. All over the world, editors are pursuing editorial excellence in the face of the emergence of new media, new technologies, changing readership lifestyles and squeezed budgets. You can learn, teach and debate either in real time on our weblog (www.editorsweblog.org) or at the annual World Editors Forum. You can discover the new trends in our webinars or joining our Study Tours.
