What product & tech is telling publishers about organisations, product branding, user experience, and matching content with people at the right time

Staying relevant and nimble

How our products are changing

External forces impact news products

The next kernels of change

What have we learned, and what’s next in news media product & tech?

This is one of the most exciting times in product and technology we’ve ever seen.

INMA has spent the past year focused on adapting quickly in legacy environments, seamless cross-platform media experiences, and strengthening foundational processes.

While it’s not the same shock that the Internet or social media brought, GenAI is fully upon us, and the impact on publisher products is profound as consumer behaviours and technology change.

In this end-of-year report card to INMA members and the news industry at large about the work of the association’s Product & Tech Initiative, we’ll look back at some of the important work done this year to prepare for what's next.

We will lay the groundwork for processes and teams, put a laser-focus on the customer experience, and start to think about what the future holds.

This town hall will be both aspirational and practical as we drill down to the most important product & tech subjects facing news media.
