This week we present the highlights of the World News Media Congress in Zaragoza, Spain. Monocle’s Sophie Monaghan-Coombs attended the event and spoke to EBU’s deputy media director, Liz Corbin, ‘Zimbabwe Independent’ editor, Faith Zaba, and Coda Story co-founder Natalia Antelava.

Essential listening for anyone who cares about the printed word and developments in publishing. From independent publications, new forms of print media and graphic novels to little-known niche magazines, ‘The Stack’ is Monocle’s take on the world of print, focusing on everything from the glossiest fashion title to the grittiest local newspaper.
