STAY AHEAD We believe information, knowledge sharing and networking are irreplaceable catalysts for transformation and growth and part of our fundamental mission at WAN-IFRA. The more we know, the better we are prepared for tough decisions and turbulent times.

We also believe that information, even the most critical and strategic business news, has only limited value if not brought into perspective. This is particularly so given the world is undergoing such deep reshuffling.

To build the future, we cannot be tied to the present day and current technology. The growth in computing power and the exponential inclusion of digital in our daily lives outstrips our ability to reframe our ethical and legal approach to digital decision making. No technology is immune from ethical and regulatory questions. This is why WAN-IFRA brings you a healthy perspective on the many collective challenges facing our industry, with particular focus on press freedom, general interest media policy, and critical global Internet governance issues.

WAN-IFRA knowledge hub leads the global conversation about business models, technologies, and regulation that matters for the future of news publishing

Who We Are WAN-IFRA is the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers. It derives its authority from its global network of leading news publishing companies and technology entrepreneurs, and its legitimacy from its 80 member publisher associations representing 18,000 publications in 120 countries.

business partners,  • Sharing best practices in both business and technology, • Working as a representative trade body to elaborate and advance quality

and technical standards in the production workflow and business value chain • Engaging with public authorities, institutions, and other trade bodies to

Today, WAN-IFRA is a leading global resource for publishers, editors, chief technology officers, digital business executives, news publisher associations, technology suppliers, service providers and research centres with three focus areas : innovation and business development - regulation and global media policy - press freedom.

Our mission is to defend and promote press freedom, and help independent news publishing companies to succeed in their transformation process, increase their business, and perform their crucial role in open societies.

We operate two international headquarters based in Paris and Frankfurt, with regional offices in Singapore, Chennai, and Mexico City, with a staff of 50. WAN-IFRA is a not for profit organisation funded by membership fees (25%), Events (25%), Expo (25%). Other incomes are associated with our advisory service, publication departments, training operations.  In addition to this baseline budget, WAN-IFRA raises international funds from private and public agencies to develop project based training, coaching programmes, and global advocacy campaigns for news professionals in emerging democracies.

50 STAFF Committed to the beliefs that better journalism changes the world; that it’s a powerful force for common good in humanity.

If you don’t stay connected with the best practices and quality standards that are measured globally, you lose your compass and sink into local market mediocrity. WAN-IFRA’s support for strong values, insightful content and cutting-edge techniques for delivery on whatever platform is essential”.

Everything we do is because we believe that freedom of expression is a fundamental right, a touchstone of all our freedoms, and press freedom enhanced by solid independent news publishing companies is one of its fundamental pillars.

Driven by members, publishers, associations and technology suppliers, we believe in solidarity in action and community commitment: we draw on the collective pool of strengths and skills to the benefit of each member of our community.

We are passionate about the future of news, through promotion of a free press, quality journalism, editorial integrity, and adoption of these values by new generations.

We believe that business sustainability is the best guarantee for publishers to remain independent and contribute to freedom of expression in open societies.

We are solution driven, delivering services through which members can find solutions to their challenges.

We have the ability to deal with uncertainty. We are proactive and a driver of new business models, with a holistic point of view and a sense of urgency.

Our media freedom activities are funded and supported by individual membership, support from public agencies (Sida in Sweden, Norwegian and Danish Ministries of Foreign Affairs, UNESCO,…), and private foundations (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Knight Foundation, Open Society Foundation, IREX, etc)

WAN-IFRA works to strengthen the skills, capacity and networks of media and their institutions in a local, regional and international context. Development actions include capacity building initiatives such as skills development training, coaching, mentoring, networking and skills-exchange activities. WAN-IFRA often engages in both advocacy and development in parallel.

This dual approach of applying advocacy and development is designed to treat the media

ecosystem in its entirety, from content to capacity building, organisational structure to legal and regulatory frameworks and the media’s overall position in society. It allows WAN-IFRA to address challenges to media freedom from multiple perspectives, leveraging experiences and synergies between advocacy and development projects, partnerships and the wider expertise of WAN-IFRA’s international community to encourage meaningful change within societies.

Our 2015-2017 Media Freedom Programme aims to assist meaningful change in more than 25 countries across the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia, as well as certain hotspots in Europe and Latin America. Within each of the selected intervention countries, there is significant potential for democratic growth to take hold and flourish. WAN-IFRA believes that media is at the heart of unlocking and supporting this potential within any society.

Our works aims to:

1. Improve citizen empowerment and engagement through broader access to independent media on and offline;

2. Better protect media against political, economic, and legal pressures, as well as physical harm;

3. Empower media with greater potential to bring about positive social change (poverty reduction, equality and human rights);

4. Ensure gender equality in media;

5. Provide more tools for citizens to advocate on behalf of media freedom and democracy.

By comparing the efficiency of our workflow with that of other newsrooms, WAN-IFRA has convinced our reporters that the editorial logic of digital writing is not out of reach. Before, the editorial team was distracted with a constant flow of technological advances. WAN-IFRA’s training helped us refocus on good digital journalism practices. That brought immediate positive impact on user engagement.David Haeberli, Digital Chief Editor, La Tribune de Genève, Switzerland

Focus on World Press Trends Disrupted, Diversified and Digital

A profound shift in the newspaper business model, which has been evolving for years, is finally here. Global newspaper circulation revenues are higher than advertising revenues for the first time in the century. Audiences have become publishers’ biggest source of revenue. The industry generated an estimated US$ 179 billion in circulation and revenue in 2014. Ninety-two billion dollars came from print and digital circulation, while $ 86 billion came from advertising.

With 2.8 million jobs, magazines and newspapers represent together the third global creative industry before book publishing, music or film industries. In 2015, it is clear that the story of the newspaper industry is not one of doom and gloom and decline. Newspapers around the world are proving their value and resilience in the face of massive competition. They are discovering new markets and new business models that are today as pertinent to news production as advertising and circulation revenues. From print newspaper businesses, they have transformed themselves into true multi platform news media businesses, aiming for revenues that are increasingly diversified and digital. At the same time, for the majority of newspapers around the world, print will continue to be a major source of revenue for years to come.
