He contributes a weekly column at WhatTheyThink.com for Premium Access Members entitled “Mondays with Dr. Joe Webb.” The column offers timely analysis of recent economic data as well as management advice for senior printing and publishing executives. “The pressure from alternative communications media is mounting,” said Dr. Webb. “Nonetheless, print continues to have an important role in business communications. The key for our industry is our ability to effectively communicate this value to media buyers and creatives in the venues they regularly frequent. Unfortunately, there is little print participation in these events, such as ad:tech and associations like the Interactive Advertising Bureau. That has to change, and quickly, if we expect to maintain the viability of print as a communications medium into the future.” The webinar, including audio, can be accessed at: http://members.whattheythink.com/home/webinars/webinar060920.cfm About Eastman Kodak Company Kodak is the world’s foremost imaging innovator, providing leading products and services to the photographic, graphic communications, and healthcare markets.
