Thank you to everyone who came to learn, network and participate! On April 3 and 4, more than 223 registrants from 69 newspapers attended 64 informative sessions during the two-day conference extravaganza at the fabulous Gideon Putnam in Saratoga Springs. Collectively, we refused to participate in the recession by battling back, armed with new knowledge about the web, blogging, advertising sales, writing/reporting and technology. Fifteen exhibitors attended to showcase new ways to generate revenue and operate more efficiently.

More than 50 newspapers left with hard-earned awards in Community Leadership, Editorial Coverage, Photography, Design and Advertising in NYPA’s prestigious Better Newspaper Contest, and their staffs went home better equipped to write, edit, advertise, manage, and more.
