Douglas Okasaki, the award winning Infographics specialist at The Gulf News has been appointed as a speaker for WAN IFRA's first News Design Conference scheduled to be held in New Delhi on 23 January 2011.

The ability to produce special infographics will help reporters and editors to enrich the quality of storytelling and in consequence, get great stories packaged the right way for their readers."
