The International Conference 2010 presents:

The core of our business is not the printing of paper, but rather excellent journalism. Whether print, moving image or online: each medium follows its own laws, but each of them depends on the quality of the content. News, opinions, well told stories – that’s what it’s about in the future, and that’s what it was always about. We interlink the worlds, wok in the networks and cross-media. Our goal is clear: to become the best integrated and most customer-friendly media company in Europe.
