The American Press Institute and Poynter Institute today announced that their “Transformation Tour,” which will present strategies for newspapers to grow audience, develop content and drive revenue, will kick off in September.

The tour will feature several of the newspaper industry’s digital pioneers and practitioners, including Clark Gilbert of the Deseret News in Salt Lake City; Chuck Peters of The Gazette Co. in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and Christian Hendricks of The McClatchy Co. in Sacramento, Calif. They will lead a series of workshops from September through April 2013.
