Just a quick reminder about the next 3-webinar series (an updated version of the series that was given last year) I put together for Higher Ed Experts:

This series should interest you if you’re in charge of news-oriented print publications (alum magazine,
internal newsletter, parents newsletter, etc.) at your institution.

Here’s a detailed description:

“Stop the Presses” is a 3-webinar series that 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.
