    Customer relationship management is crucial not only for the conventional advertising business of news media companies but also for developing new revenue opportunities. Without deep knowledge of existing customer habits and new customer expectations, media companies are in risk to lose market share and revenue potential to (new) competitors. Choosing the right CRM system is therefore more than just an IT decision but the result of a process that includes business model analysis and organizational measures as well.

    Everyone’s heard it: “Newspapers have lost their classifieds to the big verticals and free-classified sites.” But is it true? Is the classified advertising business lost to newspapers forever?

    The publishing, and with it, the printing industry are currently undergoing a fundamental transformation. While digitalisation drives change, publishing companies focus on constantly increasing their productivity over the „traditional“ value chain. Key questions in this regard are how to spot productivity levers and how to quantify their potential. SCHICKLER developed over the last 10 years a deeply routed benchmarking system to answer these questions in a very systematic way. The underlying database is constanty being fed from dozens of relevant projects in the international publishing industry. Due to the fact, that the underlying structures and workflows are known to the consultants, SCHICKLER is able to describe the levers behind each benchmark. Alexander Kahlmann, partner and key benchmarking expert at SCHICKLER will provide key insights into the findings from some of the most recent projects involving productivity gains through application of benchmarking instruments. He will cover aspects of the operations as well as other areas of the publishing value chain.

    There are several ways of countering the falling circulations and profits of newspaper printers. This learning seminar will focus on Solutions including: investments in new equipment, cooperations and consolidation, or a slower step-by-step innovation process - depending on the market situation, logistical backgrounds and the current workflow surroundings.

    Building a strong digital newsgathering and verification strategy:

    With much of the content now passing through newsrooms coming from digital sources, it is essential that organisations devise strong newsgathering processes and standards for dealing with it.

    Monitoring, communication and an understanding of the latest platforms and digital tools are essential, but so is understanding on how to keep the content coming in. As we rely more and more on user-generated content and social media, newsrooms must know how to verify this content quickly, accurately and ethically. If we turn off our audience or those content contributors then they might just stop sharing with us in the first place.

    Fergus Bell will be presenting the concepts that all newsroom leaders must be thinking about when newsgathering in the digital age as well as the ethical considerations for making this work sustainable.
