After a few years of reflection, the Belgian print market has adopted a research project that is ambitious on all aspects. The final goal is to produce daily reach (for newsbrands) and issue readership (for magazines), take into account the reach accumulation for magazines and merge all this with the internet survey figures to include PC, Tablet and Mobile consumption. This should result in an exploitation file on a daily basis that allows analyses over time and over platforms, for newsbrands and magazines combined. Will we be able to take all the hurdles?

111,000 or 37% of European journalists work on non-standard contracts and their number is growing fast: between 1995 and 2003 by 38%. In France or Germany the share of non-standard-employed journalists has reached 60%. Non-standard meaning: independent contractors, or freelancers. This shift in the labor market is obviously not a phenomenon of journalism, or creative industries, or Europe. Uber has become the largest taxi company in the world with 1 million drivers without hiring any of them full-time. Is the news publishing industry next to adopt this ‘feature’ of the on-demand economy? Imagine a world where Facebook becomes “the Uber for Journalists”? How will a news ecosystem actually work without legacy publishers in the value chain? An intriguing look ahead on the future of work in the news media industry and our business models as publishers, in this opening keynote presentation.

Conflicts, drama, crooks and victims. That's news. This is our world. Or is it? This first international book on constructive news shows the consequences of media negativity: To people, to the press itself, to the public debate and to democracy.

Constructive News is both a wake up call to a media world struggling for a future and an inspirational handbook on the next mega trend in journalism. A good story doesn't have to be a bad story.

The "Best In Show" award of 2016, signifying the top initiative among the 699 entries in the INMA Global Media Awards 2016 competition, went to Schibsted-owned Swedish media company Svenska Dagbladet for The Pyramid: a sophisticated road map boldly designed to thrive in the news media ecosystem. The initiative delivered in-depth insights on customer segmentation and the implementation of a smart paywall. Innovative digital advertising solutions and creative journalism online which increased the readers engagement and made them more willing to pay for content regardless of channel. Traffic figures grew and so did the digital revenues. And during the vibrant 2015 these actually compensated the decline on the print side. One of the recipes was a subscription initiative that has been followed by several Swedish newspapers.

How MittMedia Achieves its Own Instant Articles and Escapes Adblockers for Good
As the first media company in the Nordics, MittMedia have
reconstructed how online advertising works. The new version
of their apps will feature ads that are delivered on the
server-side instead of the client-side. This means several
exciting things, but has two significant advantages: First
of all, it means that they can also have Instant Articles
since all articles, including ads, can load extremely fast.
Second, it means that the ads cannot be blocked since they
are a part of the content.

There’s so much more knowledge in a conference room than
what is presented on stage. INMA will attempt to harvest that
knowledge in this unconventional “unconference session”: also called an Open Space conference, in other words: it is a participant-driven meeting. Under
the guidance of 2 world-class experts, conference participants
discuss different issues of our industry. No keynote presentations,
just INMA members sharing their ideas, thoughts and debating and
working out our common future.
The outcome of each stream group will be presented in a summarising session.
How to prepare for an unconference?
