The digital publishing landscape is constantly shifting, presenting new challenges and opportunities for Australian news publishers. To navigate these changes, the Digital Publishers Alliance (DPA) and the Local & Independent News Association (LINA) are thrilled to announce a bespoke online showcase series. Our inaugural event zeroes in on one of the most critical components for any digital publisher: Content Management Systems (CMS).

About the Series

The DPA and LINA’s showcase series promises to be an practical journey through multiple facets of digital publishing. While the opening session is dedicated to exploring CMS options, future topics will delve into areas like digital marketing, audience engagement, monetisation tools, and much more. This initiative is particularly designed for our digital news publishers who aim to stay up to date in a rapidly moving digital environment.

First Stop: All Things CMS
