INMA Knows

Young Readers

“INMA Knows” is a content surfacing project designed to personally curate all association resources on a single subject of high interest to INMA members

Introduction

Yes, we realize "young readers" takes in quite an age range. Media companies are trying to develop early habits among school-age children all the way up to recent college graduates, while also bringing Millenials into the fold.

But the common demoniator? They are all necessary readers for the future of the media industry.

For all ages, the pandemic opened amazing opportunies: from live virtual events to podcasts to educational content. Reaching these non-traditional readers was one of the many ways the media industry leaned into the opportunities 2020 offered.

On the older spectrum of the young readers target audience — Millennials in their mid-20s early 40s — social media is a huge focus for many news companies. For this age group, content they want (about climate change, for example) the way they want it is the simple yet magical equation.
