Former publisher of the ‘Wall Street Journal’ Gordon Crovitz – who founded an e-commerce platform which counts over 1500 
affiliates and launched on news sites across the US this year – has joined the line-up for next month’s Digital Media Asia conference (Sinmgapore, Nov 24-26).

The platform answers the ‘to charge or not to charge’ dilemma by allowing
publishers to choose and adjust multiple options for paid access continually.

Crovitz is a media executive and advisor to media and technology companies. At Dow Jones, he launched the company’s consumer media group. An advisor to several technology-based media companies in California and New York, he was named to the ‘Silicon Alley 100’ for 2008. Earlier in his career he was editor and publisher of the ‘Far Eastern Economic Review’ in Hong Kong.

WAN-Ifra says Digital Media Asia 2010 will feature a number of case studies of creative strategies for 
generating new revenue streams online.
