Where does news media go next?
The COVID-19 crisis turned out to be the management opportunity of a lifetime for news media companies. Transformation agendas accelerated. Value propositions changed. Subscriptions soared. Data and product emerged as resource winners on the B2C and B2B sides of the news business.
As the worst of the pandemic recedes and a glimmer of light emerges at the end of a long tunnel, what is the outlook for news media over the next three years?
The 91st Annual INMA World Congress will provide attendees with the news industry’s best executive overview on the state of media, best practices from the top media companies, and what lies ahead as society’s lights flicker back on.
Over 20+ hours of programming in May, we look at the threats and opportunities ahead of us – and the ideas and inspirations needed to success in a world transformed.
