FOUR WAYS TO GET TO KNOW YOUR READERS Dennison has developed a list of four techniques he's found can help editors grow readership. Visit APME.com's Readership Committee page for details on reader advisory boards, town hall meetings, educating readers and reader surveys. WORLD CUP SOUNDING BOARD Fifteen newspapers responded to the question, with most indicating they were devoting several columns to a full page or more for daily World Cup coverage. A follow-up Sounding Board question will gauge feedback on actual World Cup coverage. Visit the Sounding Board page at APME.com for detailed responses from the 15 newspapers as well as an archive for responses to the previous 41 Sounding Board questions. SUMBIT YOUR GREAT IDEAS Each year, Lance Johnson, executive editor of The Day in New London, Conn., puts together the Great Ideas booklet, a collection of more than 200 cutting-edge content strategies from newspapers in the United States and Canada. Contributions from Europe have been received this year. The best ideas will be included in a full-color booklet and showcased at the 2006 APME conference, Oct. 25-28, in New Orleans. Content categories include community news, improving readership, diversity in coverage, features, global understanding, niche publications, online (must expand on print content), projects, presentation and design, reader involvement in print and online, young readers and newsroom management. For each submission, please describe your Great Idea in no more than 300 words. More than one idea can be submitted. Please include your paper's name, contact editor, title, phone number and email address.
