The event will be hosted by WAN member the Russian Guild of the Periodical Press (GIPP) at the beginning of June 2006. The conference will include the World Newspaper Congress, the World Editors Forum and the Info Services Expo.
"WAN believes that there will be high interest in the international press community to visit Moscow in 2006 to gauge the state of Russia's political and economic development a decade and a half after the collapse of the Soviet Union," said Timothy Balding, director general of WAN.
"Our Russian colleagues have persuaded us that holding our events in Moscow will make a significant contribution to the development not only of the press market but of freedom of the press."
