This blog is part of INMA's Digital Platform Initiative, aiming to decode the issues facing the news industry as a result of existing and emerging digital platforms such as Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon. INMA recognises digital platforms have and will continue to impact the financial sustainability of news media. With this blog and initiative, we hope to assist the news industry and INMA members in dealing with these challenges.
