WELCOME Dear Colleague, When I became INMA president two years ago, our newsmedia industry was staring into the deepest, international economic abyss it had ever seen. From the ashes of that Great Recession has become a renewed energy to change the industry culture, transform business models, and commit anew to innovation. The 81st Annual INMA World Congress this week in New York aims to capture the spirit behind our industry’s transition from print to multi-media and — accelerate it. Thus, our conference theme: “Vision. Innovation. Now!” As we shed the print culture and adopt a multi-media opportunity culture, newspaper executives must: Work harder and more cleverly for advertising sales and for providing more success for advertisers. Segment into smaller slivers to increase audience and advertiser relevance. Focus more on differentiating our value in marketing budgets. Re-think and increase the value of our content on new platforms. Move quickly, be willing to fail — yet fail fast and move on to the next idea. So much to do, so little time. This week’s INMA World Congress promises to renew and rejuvenate. It’s a time to step away from the office and step back for a broader perspective that we hope will bring great value to you and your enterprise. The programme has a New York slant to it, which is appropriate for our location. Yet our audience of industry leaders is very diverse: 325+ delegates from at least 44 countries. I hope that, beyond the programme, you get an opportunity to meet with your colleagues. It is the best of the panoply of great benefits of the World Congress that an international group of newspaper executives converges in one location. It makes for a robust “INMA conversation.” It’s been a great honour and privilege to serve as president of INMA the past two years, and I know this New York conference will be a great way to demonstrate what INMA has come to mean for all of us.
