WAN-IFRA's Emerging Markets Webinar Series launched in late May and has been a great success to date, offering timely and valuable online training to media professionals around the world.
These practical and complementary workshops are designed to equip media companies in emerging markets with strong mobile and editorial strategies and tactics.
The next virtual workshop will take place on 18 June at 11 UTC (13 CEST). Egyptian mobile and digital expert Assem El Bassal will deliver the session and then take your questions on 'Targeting your audience on digital and mobile platforms'.
In the weeks that follow, WAN-IFRA will cover other topics, such as search engine optimization for news media, digital business models, and using social media to build an audience.
In an effort to add the greatest value to participants and to share this opportunity with a larger audience of media professionals, WAN-IFRA has partnered with the International Centre for Journalists (ICFJ) to offer two co-branded webinars in July, delving into business journalism, and digital and mobile security for journalists. These webinars will be open for registration shortly.
