1. STAY AHEAD
We believe information, knowledge sharing and
networking are irreplaceable catalysts for
transformation and growth and part of our
fundamental mission at WAN-IFRA. The more we know,
the better we are prepared for tough decisions and
turbulent times.
We also believe that information, even the most critical
and strategic business news, has only limited value if
not brought into perspective. This is particularly so
given the world is undergoing such deep reshufļ¬ing.
To build the future, we cannot be tied to the present
day and current technology. The growth in computing
power and the exponential inclusion of digital in our
daily lives outstrips our ability to reframe our ethical
and legal approach to digital decision making. No
technology is immune from ethical and regulatory
questions. This is why WAN-IFRA brings you a healthy
perspective on the many collective challenges facing
our industry, with particular focus on press freedom,
general interest media policy, and critical global
Internet governance issues.

7. Our Values
Your WAN-IFRA
Everything we do is because
we believe that freedom of
expression is a
fundamental right, a
touchstone of all our
freedoms, and press freedom
enhanced by solid
independent news publishing
companies is one of its
fundamental pillars.
Driven by members,
publishers, associations and
technology suppliers, we
believe in solidarity in
action and community
commitment: we draw on the
collective pool of strengths
and skills to the benefit of
each member of our
community.
We are passionate about the
future of news, through
promotion of a free press,
quality journalism,
editorial integrity, and
adoption of these values by
new generations.
We believe that business
sustainability is the best
guarantee for publishers to
remain independent and
contribute to freedom of
expression in open societies.
We are solution driven,
delivering services through
which members can find
solutions to their challenges.
We have the ability to deal
with uncertainty. We are

sense of urgency.

curiosity, open innovation
and networking, sharing
professional knowledge inside
and outside the organisation.

8. Our media freedom activities are
funded and supported by
individual membership, support
from public agencies (Sida in
Sweden, Norwegian and Danish
Ministries of Foreign Affairs,
UNESCO,ā¦), and private
foundations (Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation, Knight
Foundation, Open Society
Foundation, IREX, etc)
WAN-IFRA works to strengthen the
skills, capacity and networks of media
and their institutions in a local,
regional and international context.
Development actions include
capacity building initiatives such as
skills development training, coaching,
mentoring, networking and skills-
exchange activities. WAN-IFRA often
engages in both advocacy and
development in parallel.
This dual approach of applying
advocacy and development is
designed to treat the media
ecosystem in its entirety, from content
to capacity building, organisational
structure to legal and regulatory
frameworks and the mediaās overall
position in society. It allows WAN-
IFRA to address challenges to media
freedom from multiple perspectives,
leveraging experiences and synergies
between advocacy and development
projects, partnerships and the wider
expertise of WAN-IFRAās international
community to encourage meaningful
change within societies.
Our 2015-2017 Media Freedom
Programme aims to assist meaningful
change in more than 25 countries
across the Middle East and North
Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and South
East Asia, as well as certain hotspots
in Europe and Latin America. Within
each of the selected intervention
countries, there is signiļ¬cant potential
for democratic growth to take hold
and ļ¬ourish. WAN-IFRA believes that
media is at the heart of unlocking and
supporting this potential within any
society.
Our works aims to:
1. Improve citizen empowerment
and engagement through
broader access to independent
media on and ofļ¬ine;
2. Better protect media against
political, economic, and legal
pressures, as well as physical
harm;
3. Empower media with greater
potential to bring about positive
social change (poverty reduction,
equality and human rights);
4. Ensure gender equality in media;
5. Provide more tools for citizens to
advocate on behalf of media
freedom and democracy.

By comparing the efficiency of our workflow with that of other newsrooms,
WAN-IFRA has convinced our reporters that the editorial logic of digital writing is
not out of reach. Before, the editorial team was distracted with a constant flow of
technological advances. WAN-IFRAās training helped us refocus on good digital
journalism practices. That brought immediate positive impact on user
engagement.

Focus on World Press Trends
Disrupted, Diversified and Digital
A profound shift in the newspaper business model,
which has been evolving for years, is ļ¬nally here.
Global newspaper circulation revenues are higher
than advertising revenues for the ļ¬rst time in the
century. Audiences have become publishersā
biggest source of revenue. The industry generated
an estimated US$ 179 billion in circulation and
revenue in 2014. Ninety-two billion dollars came
from print and digital circulation, while $ 86 billion
came from advertising.
With 2.8 million jobs, magazines and newspapers
represent together the third global creative industry
before book publishing, music or ļ¬lm industries. In
2015, it is clear that the story of the newspaper
industry is not one of doom and gloom and decline.
Newspapers around the world are proving their
value and resilience in the face of massive
competition. They are discovering new markets and
new business models that are today as pertinent to
news production as advertising and circulation
revenues. From print newspaper businesses, they
have transformed themselves into true multi
platform news media businesses, aiming for
revenues that are increasingly diversiļ¬ed and digital.
At the same time, for the majority of newspapers
around the world, print will continue to be a major
source of revenue for years to come.
