Publish Asia 2012, the annual Asian newspaper convention from the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA), is set to take place in Bali, Indonesia, from 10 to 12 April 2012.

"Indonesia's news media is in exciting phase given the country's resilience, economic development and plurality of expression." said Agung Adiprasetyo, the Chief Executive Officer of Indonesia’s leading national newspaper group, Kompas Gramedia.

For its 12th edition, Publish Asia will take the theme, "Shaping the Future of News Publishing" and focus on case studies showing how media companies across the globe are defining and implementing innovative strategies to secure their future. Over 600 newspaper executives from Asia Pacific and the Middle East are expected to attend the three-day event.

"Indonesia is a very young country." said Azrul Ananda, the President and Director of Jawa Pos, Indonesia’s largest newspaper group with over 180 dailies spread over the country. "Half of the population is actually below 29 years old. This means that there is a lot of enthusiasm and energy flowing in our society and in our newspapers. I have no doubt that Publish Asia’s delegates will feel and get inspired by this positive energy."

Publish Asia 2012 will cover the management, advertising, newsroom and production aspects of the newspapers and news publishing business. It will include the following:

The CEO Conference, will look at how the media landscape is changing and how publishers can adapt and define their strategies to ensure a successful future.
