WAN-IFRA has launched an online learning platform designed to promote the development of new business models, train top talent in media companies, and pragmatically accelerate digital transformation in today’s ever-changing news ecosystem.
"The vast majority of WAN-IFRA members are small and mid-size businesses around the world.

Thanks to financial support from Google's Digital News Initiative (DNI), the open platform allows WAN-IFRA to leverage its library of global best practice, insights and expertise via a panel of experts, offering a programme that will benefit all levels of rising talent and management in participating news organisations.
“The inherent advantages of open online courses, combined with our global reach, know-how and guidance, will enable media managers, executives, and the entire industry to quickly and efficiently develop the understanding required to operate and innovate the business of news publishing in the digital age,” said WAN-IFRA Director of Global Advisory Ben Shaw.
