For over two decades Mike Blinder traveled to over 400 newspapers world-wide to consult and train on how to adapt into the digital age. And while doing so, his company assisted in generating over $100-million US dollars in new revenue. Just a few years ago, he surprised the industry with his purchase of Editor & Publisher Magazine (E&P), described by Wikipedia as the 140+ year old "bible of newspapers."
During this fast-paced, information-packed session, Mike will offer insights into how newspapers went from being a dominant extremely profitable enterprise, to struggling, constitutionally mandated enterprises. He will reveal, through research and his magazine's reporting, where that industry stands today and what a real-world future looks like for local journalism.
