By: E&P Staff Since Wall Street has been giving newspaper stocks the cold shoulder, this year's Mid-Year Media Review should prove insightful. Hosted by the Newspaper Association of America, newspaper executives will descend upon New York next week to pitch financial analysts and investors on their companies' forecasts for the second half of the year.
Don't expect McClatchy. The company is not in the lineup for Tuesday June 20 or Wednesday June 21. However, the company's Vice President of Interactive Media, Chris Hendricks, will be speaking on a panel scheduled on Tuesday afternoon on how newspapers can attract Internet ad dollars.
Executives from the Tribune Co. and The New York Times Co., -- two companies with ornery shareholders -- are scheduled to speak on Tuesday at 9 am and 3 pm respectively. Other companies that will participate include Belo, Lee Enterprises, Gannett, The Washington Post Co., and Dow Jones.
On Wednesday, the NAA will conduct a CEO roundtable that will address such topics as the business of newspapers, readership, and online initiatives. NAA head John Sturm will moderate the panel with the following executives: Mary Junck, CEO of Lee, Robert Decherd, CEO of Belo, Janet Robinson, CEO of the New York Times Co., and Dean Singleton, CEO of MediaNews Group.
