From “Best of” and “Cutest Pet” contests, to “Win a Free Hot Water Heater” sweepstakes, newspapers have found

Part 1: Dr. James Bissell presents his highly-rated digital advertising workshop. This workshop provides an overall
digital review of market trends, advertising sales techniques and combining print and digital strategies, with an
emphasis on Google Analytics, search engine marketing (AdWords), social advertising and display advertising.
Part 2: Making an advertising sale is great! It means you’ve closed a deal, earned a commission and perhaps even hit
your numbers for the month/quarter/year. However, building and maintaining lasting relationships with your advertisers
is the key to your long-term success. Effective sales professionals understand the value of asking the right questions
and listening attentively to the answers before formulating a recommendation. This workshop will provide you with the
knowledge, tools and training to become an asset to your clients and a top-performer within your organization.

8:45 – 10:00 a.m.
Reporting on crime is not new, but how you do so may be. This session will challenge the way reporters and

basic digital metrics that are used to measure both the popularity of an article as well as key information about
digital subscribers. Not only will you learn what to look for in data and how to gather it, but what to do with it –

Effectively Managing the Trauma that Comes from Reporting on Trauma
3:15 – 4:30 p.m.
Reporting on traumatic events has become an all too familiar responsibility for editorial teams. Just as rst
responders need to be aware of the effects their work on the front line brings to them as individuals, so must

Success Stories in Production

What happens when you value the quality and content of your product? Success! In recent years, the print
landscape has all-too-often become one of cynicism and apprehension. And with a mindset of “how much will
this cost?”, it is easy to slip into a rut that leaves you undervaluing the very product you have a long-standing pride
in. By building programs, the put quality rst throughout the production cycle, learn how Community Impact has
empowered every member of their production team to build a high-quality, value driven product delivered directly
to every door in their distribution. Will Dahlstrom will share this and more as you learn how to shift the paradigm
from cost to prot, and how just such a shift has led to tremendous growth and success for these newspaper
industry leaders. Like the sign on their door reads, “Print Ain’t Dead.”
