OBITUARIES: If there is one advertising revenue source print newspapers should never lose, it is their Obituaries. But newspapers all over the country are losing revenue in this area. And after much research, a lot of the losses maybe self inflicted. How your obituaries look, read, sold online, and offered to the funeral homes ALL MATTERS now more than ever. And it is under your control, at little to no cost, to turn this around.

Please join Janet DeGeorge, president of Classified Executive Training & Consulting, to find out the secrets to improving your obituaries, selling more of them, and increasing both this vital revenue as well as a major readership feature.

To register for "Creating Significant New Obituary Revenue" on Thursday, January 22, 2026, go to our website at www.onlinemediacampus.com.
