Experience India’s Most Innovative Digital Newsrooms

The news industry is undergoing its biggest transformation in decades. Artificial Intelligence, audience-first strategies, digital subscriptions, short-form video, data journalism, and new revenue models are reshaping how newsrooms operate.

The WAN-IFRA Newsroom Innovation Tour 2026 provides an exclusive opportunity to step inside some of India’s most innovative media organizations and learn directly from the leaders driving this transformation.

This is not a conference or a presentation—it’s an immersive behind-the-scenes experience where participants gain first-hand exposure to newsroom workflows, editorial decision-making, technology platforms, audience engagement strategies, and business innovation.

Whether you lead editorial, product, audience development, digital strategy, or newsroom transformation, this tour will provide practical ideas that can be implemented immediately in your own organization.
