WAN-Ifra has postponed by several weeks, the sixth series of its module-based Newsroom Leaders, which was to have been held in New Delhi and Chennai in April.

The events - an initiative of the World Editors Forum and WAN-Ifra, aimed at improving the knowledge of editors and journalists - have been moved to late May and early June.

Module leaders are former executive editor and news director at Gannett Wisconsin Media Kevin Anderson, Factly India founder Rakesh Dubuddu and Eric Ulken, newsroom tools product director at USA Today.

Participants will learn the skills needed to engage the new age readers with the publisher's brand and the ways to gain advantage over old and new competitor. The series offer the opportunity to update skills, prove newspaper standards (with legibility and quality), indirectly help increase readers and revenue. The hands-on workshop includes real-time examples and refreshing assignments "even after completion of workshop".

Three topics planned for New Delhi (with the new dates) are Dynamic journalism (May 27), Investigative stories (May 28), and Audience development (May 29-30). The two planned for Chennai are now - Advanced data mapping for editors (June 1-2) and Change management and newsroom leadership (June 3-4).
