PSM Unpacked [Recurring]
The challenges facing public service media are not only growing but are also shared more widely than ever before. From funding to journalist safety, this series of roundtable forums is designed for PMA members to discuss these challenges and also share innovations, successes and solutions.
Each session, a small group of employees at PMA member organisations gather to informally exchange knowledge and best practices, and discuss how their organisations manage operations across different subject areas.
The sessions are organised on a regular basis, and bring together people in similar positions at like-minded organisations. They are also good networking opportunities, so staff can meet and speak with their global peers.
Our next roundtable will be: “How PSM supports minority languages”
Date: July 2025

Newsroom Transformation Masterclass
Date: 9-16 October 2025
What exactly is newsroom transformation? And how will we know when we have “transformed”?
In this INMA Newsroom Transformation Master Class we will dive into metrics and KPIs that today’s journalists must know if news brands are to deliver impact and influence in a fast-changing world.
We will look at establishing newsroom-wide KPIs, creating a data-fluent newsroom culture, understanding what data can and can’t tell us, and using data to guide decisions on what to stop doing.
Join some of the most experienced and innovative working journalists and news leaders in the world as they share what we still need to do to accelerate newsroom transformation and face multiple challenges.
In three modules, you’ll get a mini-MBA in newsroom management and come away with ideas and tools you can apply tomorrow to the challenges you face today.
