Planning to go digital with your magazine/newsletter (or wish you would)? Sign up for “Stop the Presses”, a 3-webinar series on June 24-26

I’ve been working on this new webinar series for some time now.

That’s why I’m very pleased today to announce that registration is now opened for “Stop the Presses: Why and how to go digital with your magazine or newsletter” at www.higheredexperts.com/stopthepresses

This series taking place on June 24, 25 and 26 has a great speaker line-up composed of 3 online magazine editors (all with a background in print) from the University of Michigan, Ithaca College and Duke University.

This 3-webinar series will show you why more and more higher ed institutions have gone digital with their news-oriented publications.

It will also help you get ready for an eventual switch from print to electronic or to better integrate both media at your institution by sharing winning strategies, lessons learned and practical advice from editors of higher ed digital magazines.
