As John, Paul, George and Ringo used to tell us, we can all use ”a little help from our friends”. In fact, in some cases newspapers have made new friends out of old enemies to the benefit of all. On this call SNA is going to look at the prospect of collaborating with other newspapers or even other media for expanded reach, traffic and revenue. It can work well, as its speakers will attest.

Matt Hayes, 21-year owner and publisher of East Bay Newspapers will share his papers’ success story as part of RIJobs.com, a Shaker Recruitment Advertising and Communications job board product. RIJobs teams his group of 10 Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts weeklies with other community newspapers in the area. He also has an exciting new automotive and real estate collaboration story to tell as well. 

Gary Tyler recently left 20 years of advertising management at the Courier Journal in Louisville, Kentucky to become Advertising Director at the Springfield, IL State Journal-Register. With partner TV Station Fox 55 - WRSP-TV, the Journal-Register sells a Digital Media Communications Jobs TV product that includes Web video and a weekly television show. Teamed up as well with Yahoo! HotJobs, the product is called HotJobs TV. Gary will tell us about his success.
