Digital Media North America 2019
A big thank you to all our participants and sponsors!
Our 2019 edition focused on the importance of product in today’s news media companies.
Product roles are increasingly becoming a must-have for news publishers wishing to strengthen their digital strategy. However, this often raises several questions and challenges, which will be tackled through the following sessions:
- Why have product roles become crucial in news media companies?
- Product strategy and revenue objectives.
- Breaking newsroom walls. Aligning company goals. Responding to the audience’s needs.
- Elements of success: user-experience and design.
- Defining priorities and changing cultures in local media companies.
- Recruiting, retaining and empowering: the intricacies of product roles.
- Portfolio: What makes a product (un)successful?
