The Vice Chairman of The New York Times Company will give the keynote presentation at the 11th WAN-IFRA Middle East Conference in Dubai next month.
Michael Golden will discuss how newspapers are responding to the challenges created by the Internet and associated technologies through constant innovation and implementing new ideas and business models, with conference delegates set to learn how The New York Times undertook this transformative journey.
Golden has been Vice Chairman of The New York Times and a member of the Company's Board of Directors since 1997. He served as president and chief operating officer of The New York Times Company Regional Media Group from 2009 to January 2012, and was publisher of the International Herald Tribune, now the International New York Times, from 2003 to 2008.
