The Oxford Tablet Summit is about to begin

Within a couple of hours, the Oxford Tablet Summit will begin. Main topic: tablets as a second life for newspapers and magazines. How will these gadgets  affect the newspapers business, and how publishers can monetize it? What does iPad mean for journalism? We hope to find some answers during today’s Oxford Tablet Summit.

INMA, together with Innovation Media Consulting prepared the summit looking at the iPad, and the tablets. The goal of this conference is much more important than simple introduction to the new digital platform. Surely, the following questions will be asked:

• how publishers can benefit from the iPad and other tablet deviced in 2010?
• what do iPad and other tablets mean for journalism?
• where is the money in these new digital platforms?
• is there any room for paid content and advertising on tablet devices?

INMA again managed to gather wonderful speakers, the specialists from different newsmedia companies, already experimenting with iPads. We will be able to listen to Juan Antonio Giner and Juan Senor from Innovation Media Group, as well as specialists from “The Boston Globe”, “Aftenposten”, BBC, “The Guardian” and many many others. Check the programme and come back to Forum4Editors for the summit coverage.
