World Newspaper Congress
14th World Editors Forum and Info Services Expo 2007
Cape Town
3-6 June 07


Chief executives from some of the world's leading newspaper and media companies will share their ideas and strategies for the future of newspapers at the 60th World Newspaper Congress.

The events are expected to draw at least 1500 publishers, chief editors and other senior newspaper executives.

"The 2007 summit meetings of the world's press will be very special in many ways," says Timothy Balding, CEO of the World Association of Newspapers (WAN), organisers of the events.

"Most importantly, perhaps, the events will be held for the first time ever in Africa. While newspapers throughout the world confront the exciting challenge of creating multi-platform news and advertising enterprises, the media in dozens of African countries still remain engaged in the struggle to finally win freedom and independence."
