The two day’s seminar on Cost Control and Revenue Opportunities in Newspaper Production organised by WAN-IFRA on 18 and 19 January 2010 in New Delhi attracted about 50 participants. The meeting reflected a new level of interaction and maturity in the Indian newspaper industry and particularly in North India. Perhaps for the first time there was an extended discussion of newspaper production practices and networking accessible to a wide regional audience of professionals.
