On Thursday, May 10, meet Rob Curley, vice-president of product development for the Washington Post, an online innovator(革新者)whose earlier work at the Naples, Florida Daily News, the small market Lawrence Journal-World in Kansas, and with Morris Communications has made him an innovative legend at age 35．His creativity has changed traditional thinking about newspaper web sites, allowing for very local community web sites and multimedia features．In 2004, Editor ＆ Publisher named the 19 000-circulation(發行量)Lawrence Journal-World one of the ten newspapers in the U．S．that “do it right．”
On Friday, May 11, speakers Juan, Media Consulting Group and André, Gesca Ltd, will explore the trend(傾向)towards free and closely-related newspapers, which is not only a European phenomenon, but has also appeared in North America．They will be followed by Leon Levitt, vice-president of digital media for Cox Newspapers, and others．They will address partnerships such as the one Yahoo! and several large U．S．newspaper companies have created, which are widely greeted as win-win for both organizations．
