The global mash-up the media industry is witnessing between editorial and data as they both relate to reader revenue is reflective of the industrywide move to democratise data — often centred on newsroom dashboards. As editorial teams become more embedded in the reader revenue model, we expect industry case studies on such dashboards will continue to grow in quantity and importance.

In the latest “INMA Knows” distillation, we bring to you a robust collection of best practices from media companies working to make data commonplace and accessible in the newsroom.
