Der Standard Editor Touts the Power of Print

Posted
By: Hannah Vinter | Editors Weblog

It is fitting that this year's World Newspaper Week is taking place in Austria, where the dynamic publishing market has only slightly shrunk in the past few years compared to that of other hit-hard Western countries.

Alexandra Föderl-Schmid is Editor-in-Chief of Der Standard, and under her direction the paper has continued to do well despite the global downturn in print sales. She started freelancing for the paper in 1990 and held many posts there including Germany correspondent, EU correspondent and chief business editor before being appointed to the top job in 2007.

Föderl-Schmid is due to speak at the World Editors Forum in Vienna (12-15 October) about what content print newspapers should focus on to not just survive but also thrive.
