    WAN-IFRA releases Going Green report

    The World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) has published its new Going Green report that examines the environmental implications of 'green' strategies for newspaper companies. From the WAN-IFRA Shaping the Future of the Newspaper project, the report studies the impact of the daily newspaper business on the environment, from electricity consumption to paper and printing.

    The report shows how environmental strategies create efficiency and save resources that can positively impact the environment ­ and the newspaper's budget at the same time. Green strategies are quickly becoming important parts of publishers' plans.

    Managing resources in the newsroom

    The report says that change doesn't have to be overwhelming, and shows how many publishers start small and grow. The first steps - such as increasing recycling and cutting wasted electricity - can grow to encompass how resources are managed in the newsroom, the printing plant and beyond.

    The report also shows how 'green' strategies enhance newspapers' reputations as top news and information outlets, and have strong implications for renewing and strengthening readers' trust, while lowering long-term costs.

    Going Green is available exclusively to members of WAN-IFRA, although the report's executive summary is available, free of charge, to members and non-members. Download the summary. WAN-IFRA members can download the report, and other members-only strategy reports on a variety of subjects, from www.futureofthenewspaper.com.

    For information on membership in WAN-IFRA, contact Heide Orlich, director of membership, at gro.arfi-naw@pihsrebmem.
