What Is INMA?

The International News Media Association (INMA) is a global community of market-leading news media companies reinventing how they engage audiences and grow revenue in a multi-platform environment.

INMA today is the only global association dedicated exclusively to the business of news media.

The INMA community consists of nearly 20,000 members at 900+ news media companies in 80+ countries — each dedicated to sharing with and learning from each other. Together, we are a powerful knowledge network.

Founded in 1930, INMA is the news media industry's foremost ideas-sharing network with members connected via conferences (virtual and in-person), reports, Webinars, connectivity tools, and an in-depth collection of best practices.

Our initiatives provide insights that are unparalled in the news industry on the subjects of digital subscriptions, product, smart data, advertising, newsroom innovation, and the emerging relationship between media companies and Big Tech platforms.

INMA’s focus is global and its mission is education. Having access to best practices, innovation, and expertise of some of the top publishers has been a tremendous value to me and my organisation.
