ATLANTA (May 16, 2013) - Kevin Riley, editor of The Atlanta Journal Constitution, will discuss Newspaper Survival Tactics at the 47th Annual NAREE Spring Journalism Conference June 7. The conference will be held June 5-8 at the Hilton Atlanta.
The timing of the Q-and-A with Riley is perfect because this week, the AJC stopped giving away all its content for free and launched its paid myajc.com. Of course, payment for content is the key survival tactic for major newspapers.
Riley (shown in photo with Katie Couric) will be joined by Matt Kempner, longtime AJC Business page reporter and editor. Riley's talk, part of NAREE University, starts at 8 a.m. Suzann Silverman, editor of Commerical Property Executive will moderate the Q-and-A with the AJC's top newsman.
On the conference's opening day, June 5, AJC commercial real estate/economic development reporter Scott Trubey will offer his observations of the Atlanta skyline from atop the W Downtown Atlanta Hotel & Residences.
Just before the event at the W, longtime business columnist Maria Saporta will discuss "The Different Atlantas" at the conference's opening reception at the Hilton Atlanta. Saporta, who covered business and wrote an influential column at the AJC, now writes for Atlanta Business Chronicle and Saporta Report.
