News Chairman and CEO John Hartigan and Fairfax CEO Greg Hywood are set to speak at the national conference of the Australian Newsagents’ Federation tomorrow. They will also answer some questions in what is certain to be an important session for newsagents.
Both News and Fairfax are working through considerable changes to newspaper home delivery, having undertaken more than a year of consultation. Rumours about changes to newspaper distribution dominate discussions among newsagents, including discussions so far at the conference. Hartigan and Hywood will each speak briefly and take questions in a moderated session.
Hopefully the session tomorrow will provide some guidance for distribution newsagents seeking clarity on the future of this important part of their businesses. The ANF should be proud of getting both to this conference.
Unfortunately I will be overseas and unable to be at this important session.
