Along the way, INMA will put in context Big Data, mobile, and programmatic to better understand where publishers are likely to land in the next five years.

To succeed in todays rapid and constantly changing world, you need to be creative and have the ability to realize new ideas constantly. Emi Kolawole will share the Stanford d.school’s design thinking process, which is meant to help foster individuals’ creative confidence and capacity for innovation. Emi came to the d.school from The Washington Post for a variety of reasons: to reset her understanding of what storytelling can be and gain a deeper understanding of media design. She also wanted to discover what really drives profits around content creation, how those drivers can be changed and, ultimately, how a renaissance can be born.

In 2012 Anita was a Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford University, D.school in Palo Alto, doing research on online communities, user engagement, future of journalism, media entrepreneurship and on strategic innovation management in journalism.
She will share her experience of implementing parts of the d.school method in newsrooms, most recently at the newsroom of Neue Zürcher Zeitung (aka NZZ). “To innovate a newsroom, we use a mixture of Design Thinking, Lean methods, beta testing and just plain creativity work� she says.

News media companies should be creating communities around engaging news experiences. Experiences are what will create differentiation from other companies and build loyal, engaged audiences. Ad partners have a role in these experiences as well, but not in the traditional ad formats.
In her thesis, Brie Logsdon and her team created a large, international news story and put it in a physical space. She studied museum engagement design techniques and applied them to the story the team created, turning it into an experience. Her current studies continue this initial investigation, designing spaces both physical and digital for people to delve into great content; at the same time learning about the communities that form around these institutions and exhibitions. Learn in this presentation the lessons that could help inform the news media industry about experience design.
