Powerful Networking with your Global Peers
On WAN-IFRA Study Tours it is not uncommon to have five continents represented on a single tour, and the exchange is valuable as you share lessons learned and debate long into the evening on industry topics.
As stated by a 2018 Study Tour participant, "The tour is an excellent avenue for deep learning on how newsrooms are innovating amid sea change in the industry. There is also plenty of scope for discussion among peers from all around the world. The trip was delightful, and it would be a shame to miss it." Jamie Lee, The Business Times (Singapore).
