dynamics of global newsroom technologies and strategies, Penplusbytes, the
Pan-African leader in deploying new digital tools in enhancing the work of
journalists and the media, is pleased to announce the release of its latest
book, titled "Survival

This book is the outcome of informed perspectives on
the application of new digital technologies in the newsroom by a team of astute
industry players. It summarily provides insight into the "future of news"
by highlighting current and future trends needed to stay relevant in today's
news generation and dissemination process.
In
many ways, Survival Strategies and Ideas
for Newsroom is a reflection of the changes that characterize today’s
global news business.
As
a foreword to the book, Kenneth Ashigbey, Managing Director of Graphic
Communications Group Ltd wrote that,
“This book is
intended as a bird eye view of trends, new development and insights shaping the
future of news. It offers a quick yet
critical insight to guide the mastery of managing newsroom and is coming at
important time for a lot of media houses and journalists since they are
thinking about future of news and their role in this fast changing landscape.”
In this book, global media and technology experts
explore an array of dynamic shifts aimed at providing media actors in Ghana and
beyond a critical view of what modern news production and dissemination trends
are with topics that include wearables technologies, the place of newspaper in
a technology driven space, key trends in the newsroom and Ghana's place on the
Global stage of Digital Media.
