The 17th World Editors Forum was due to be held in Beirut from June 7 to June 10 but the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) has been forced to call off the World Newspaper Congress and postpone the World Editors Forum. The 17th World Editors Forum will be rescheduled from 6 to 8 October next, to be held in conjunction with the IFRA Expo in Hamburg, Germany, which runs from 4 to 6 October. Both Congress and Editors Forum delegates will be invited to attend the rescheduled event, which will feature key elements scheduled for Beirut, including the Golden Pen of Freedom presentation, World Press Trends update, and other presentations. The Forum will still be dedicated to new media technologies, especially - but not ony ! - the tablet's or smart phones ones, under the title "THE TABLET YEAR: WHY MOBILE DISTRIBUTION WILL CHANGE NEWS REPORTING". Full details can be found at wefhamburg2010. "We very much hope that both Editors Forum participants and Congress attendees will re-register for this event, which will integrate our annual World Press Trends presentation, the award of the 2010 Golden Pen of Freedom and other features of the regular conferences", said Xavier Vidal-Folch, World Editors Forum President and Bertrand Pecquerie, World Editors Forum Director.
