• Beyond “print + digital”: While digital capabilities are on the rise for media companies, the need to diversify revenue beyond “print + digital” is rising, too.

• Foundations: Foundational elements are intensifying in the new media company: management capabilities and scale, platform-agile employees, a Big Data strategy, and culture.

• The new news brand: Communicating who and what your company and brand represent as a multi-platform hybrid brand continues to evolve.

Bringing together conversations, interviews, conference presentations, and a multitude of INMA sources from 79 media companies, Wilkinson weaves a storyline of aspiration and concern for 2014.
