Scores of alt-weekly staffers descended on San Francisco's Argonaut Hotel last week for AAN's 2010 Web Publishing Conference. Publishers, editors, ad sales managers and others came together for one-and-a-half days of virtually non-stop panels and presentations on how best to manage digital publishing now and in the future. If you weren't able to make it to the conference, or want to share what you learned at a particular session, you can check out videos from nine of the 12 sessions and PDF presentations of several sessions in the Resource Library.
The latest installment in AAN's 2010 Sales Webinar Series will focus on "tips & tricks" for Google Ad Manager (GAM). The session, which costs $24 for AAN members, will be led by Mark Wolly, Senior Ad Serving Consultant with Google Publisher Solutions. He will point little-known (yet high-impact) features of GAM, introduce some brand new features and spend plenty of time answering questions on how you can optimize GAM.
For the first of several opportunities in 2010, AAN members have the opportunity to participate in an online webinar that addresses the credibility of online news sites. The webinar, "News Site Credibility: Whom Do Readers Trust," is directed at editors, as well as anyone who manages user-generated content. The first 25 registrants that use the AAN-member only discount code will get a special rate of $15 (the seminar's "retail" cost is $27.95).
David Bennahum will kick off AAN's 2010 Web Publishing Conference with a keynote address on the rise of new media amidst the collapse of the newspaper industry. Bennahum has been following new media since 1994, when he began writing for Wired magazine; additional reporting of his on the rise of the internet and its impact on our culture has been published in The New York Times, New York magazine, and The Economist. His Center for Independent Media, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization, publishes six public-interest news sites around the country (many of which feature alt-weekly alums as reporters). Bennahum's talk will be Thursday, Jan. 28 at 9:15 am, kicking off a day and a half of intensive web publishing programming. For more details on the conference, click here.

He will speak on the afternoon of Thursday, Jan. 28 at the San Francisco conference, which you can find out more about here and register for here (early registration discounts have been extended until this Friday). We recently caught up with Doctor via email to find out more about his upcoming book, and how he thinks alt-weeklies are positioned to emerge in the digital future.
