Even in the current climate, more magazines are starting each year than are closing and some new ventures are doing quite well. But what is involved in starting your own publication? What are some of the things you need to consider? In this Q&A session, panelists will describe what challenges they faced in beginning publications and how they surmounted them. There will be time for the panelists to give reactions to pitches for new publications and point out what they see as the challenges those proposals face. This session will be more suited for more experienced journalists, editors, PIOs and the newer but ambitious entrants into digital journalism.
