Learn how to respond to and navigate AI-driven changes in the news ecosystem

With announcements from OpenAI, Google, and Apple, it is becoming clearer that their AI products are positioning themselves for closer relationships with consumers, and publishers' top-of-funnel for discovery is changing.

Knowing that publishers can no longer rely on a future where traffic comes from other platforms, what do they need to do now to move away from driving traffic to building a solid, direct audience on their owned platforms?

INMA will delve into product and platform discovery, alternatives to SEO, how to double down on engagement, and how to build reader habits through community engagement.

Module 1: How consumers discover your products and platforms amidst technological change

As more sits within Big Tech’s walled gardens and publishers have less control over search, alerts, and summaries, where does discovery come from in the future? In this module, INMA will look at how content discovery is changing including best practices for SEO and app store optimisation, and best uses of social media, newsletters, and notifications. Plus, how can INMA help news publishers with production process and analysis?
