Newspaper strategy guru Jim Chisholm will speak about the future of the press at the Society of Editors annual conference on November 15, 16 and 17 and give an upbeat message.Apparently Chisholm will paint an optimistic picture based on new research that shows no evidence worldwide that the internet is directly affecting newspaper circulations and predicts operating margins close to previous levels by 2014.
Perhaps to balance Chisholm's cheerfulness, media analyst Claire Enders has also been added to the list of speakers for the SoE conference. Her company has predicted that half the country's 1,300 local newspapers will close between now and 2013.
