Help us recognize your "Operations All-Star"

Do you have an "Operations All-Star" on your team?

The professionals working in news publishing operations do far more than keep presses running and trucks moving. They solve problems, improve efficiency, reduce costs, and develop innovative ways to keep news organizations sustainable in an increasingly demanding environment. Their expertise spans production, packaging, distribution, logistics, workflow optimization, and operational leadership — often behind the scenes and without recognition.

Editor & Publisher and the International Newspaper Group (ING) want to change that. We’re seeking nominations for the industry’s top Operations All-Stars — the leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers helping move news publishing forward every day. Over the coming months, E&P will profile the best of the best to its global audience of news media executives.

Nominees may serve at any level below senior leadership roles within their organization.
