Berlin – From 7 to 9 October the world’s largest trade fair for the news and media industry will be taking place on the Berlin Exhibition Grounds for the first time. “As a city buzzing with innovative enterprises Berlin is the perfect place to hold this three-day, event-packed fair. Participants will be able to gain an insight into new business models and access to an even broader network of emerging technology and service providers“, said Vincent Peyrègne, CEO of the World Association of Newspapers (WAN-IFRA).

At the opening event on 7 October 2013 four leading experts from the industry, Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer AG, Andrew Miller, CEO of the British newspaper The Guardian, Tomas Brunegård, president of WAN-IFRA and chairman of the Stampen Media Group, and American author and analyst Ken Doctor, will take to the podium to debate the future of news publishing.
