Asian newspaper conference cancelled

Asian newspaper conference Publish Asia, originally scheduled for May in Bangkok, has been cancelled due to the recent political turbulence in Thailand, The Straits Times reported Monday.
The newspaper summit will instead be held in Chennai, India, in September, said world publishing organisation IFRA. The relocation is due to "the recent turmoil in Bangkok triggering travel restrictions there by many countries" combined with the global recession.

The seminar, now set for September 23-25, will now be combined with the annual IFRA India conference and expo, originally set to be held in Hyderabad.
The collaboration of the events in Chennai "will benefit our stakeholders, the newspapers and the suppliers active in Asia, Middle East and Indian subcontinent," said Thomas Jacob, IFRA's managing editor for the greater Asia-Pacific region.
