This year's Trends in Newsrooms report, unveiled last week at the World Editors Forum (WEF) annual conference in Göteborg, Sweden, focuses on eight major themes, drawn from discussions throughout the year among print and digital editors on the WEF Editors Weblog. The 180-page report, touted as a complete, analytical guide to the monumental transformations taking place in the newspaper industry, includes details about how newspapers are adapting to the changing media landscape, interviews with top media executives and commentators, detailed descriptions of innovations at some of the world's most recognised newspapers, and more. It also includes the results of the Newsroom Barometer, a survey of newspaper editors around the world about the future of newspapers. Full details are available at www.trends-in-newsrooms.org. George Brock, outgoing WEF president, said the barometer “banishes any idea that editors are gloomy or pessimistic about the future or that they have been slow in adapting to the changes which digital technology has wrought.”
