Fairfax boss Greg Hywood to address inaugural Publish conference
Fairfax Media boss Greg Hywood, Australia’s most famous playwright David Williamson and the global commercial boss of BuzzFeed are to speak at the inaugural Publish conference in Sydney next month.
Publish, which is produced by Mumbrella in association with Publishers Australia, will focus on the future trends and opportunities in print and digital publishing.
It also includes a formal networking afternoon offering the chance to schedule 15-minute meetings with publishers, media buyers, technology suppliers and other relevant practitioners.
Hywood is pursuing a digital first publishing strategy at the 180-year-old newspaper company as well as building its events arm and eyeing investment in other verticals. He will share his thoughts on the future of the Australian publishing industry and how Fairfax is navigating the rapidly evolving market.
Someone tell Hywood Fairfax is one more fake news (branded content) yarn away from a Reddit admin ban.
Losing 5 per cent of ya traffic in one hit is gonna hurt.
Pretty sure SMH.com.au is number one news site in AUstralia Bec
Alexa rates it second. Irrelevant.
Point of that comment was “Fairfax is one more fake news yarn away from a Reddit admin ban.”
This is an important thing.
