Leadership Forum to explore issues important to small papers

The 2016 Carmage Walls Leadership Forum will be held Jan. 31-Feb. 2 at The Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill, N.C.

The program is designed for executives from newspapers with circulations of 25,000 or less. The agenda and discussions will provide publishers and other key executives from SNPA's small newspapers a venue to explore the issues most important to them and to mine the industry's best minds for practical solutions.

The meeting, which will be moderated by Les High, editor of The News Reporter in Whiteville, N.C., is named in memory of the late Benjamin Carmage Walls whose newspaper career spanned seven decades. Walls primarily owned community newspapers and advocated strong, courageous leadership.
