How Your Organization Will Benefit
Through presentations, interactive discussions, and hands-on exercises, front-page architects will learn how to open the newspaper’s front door to and for the community. They’ll take home techniques for combining the right mix of stories in a visually compelling format that will entice readers and consumers and position the front page as a powerful marketing tool that reinforces the organization’s brand.
Participants will return ready to:

  • Know what really sells newspapers, drives readership and influences purchasing habits.

  • Design front pages that are engaging, relevant and interesting.

  • Develop new editing and design strategies that entice new readers and users.

  • Increase the impact of promotion and brand identity.

  • Enhance the interactive dialogue with the community.


  • Connect the print product to the Web site.
