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.
