GAMI is the toolkit for news media to embrace transformation, drive innovation, maximize success, and quickly advance the best talents and innovations to the market GAMI connects news professionals, technologists and entrepreneurs in digital media, with bright new talents in universities and media labs worldwide
Newspaper companies have only begun to scratch their innovation potential.
To succeed, they have to learn to look at markets in new ways. They must invest to create new capabilities and rethink the way they work individually and collectively.

WAN-IFRA, the global network of newspapers and news publishers and technology providers, is opening its network to a broad array of innovation partners: public and private research centres, media labs, start-ups and innovative technology providers, venture capital, and research funding partners to create a comprehensive ecosystem of innovation in news media. Because we believe that news media businesses have only begun to scratch their innovation potential, we encourage them to unlock this potential by teaming up with the incoming generation of talents educated in some of the most advanced engineering universities and J schools around the world. If you wanted to sum up the past decade of the news
ecosystem in a single phrase, it might be this:
Everybody suddenly got a lot more freedom. The
newsmakers, the advertisers, the startups, and,
especially, the people formerly known as the audience
have all been given new freedom to communicate,
narrowly and broadly, outside the old strictures of the
broadcast and publishing models. The past 15 years
have seen an explosion of new tools and techniques,
and, more importantly, new assumptions and
expectations, and these changes have wrecked the old
clarity. The value chain of news organisations has
exploded. This transformation has been boosted by
innovation in both end user technologies and
professional practices, often driven by academic
research and advance collaboration between
2
established companies and emerging technology
providers. Legacy news orgnaisations must embrace
this opportunity, and evolve from a culture that is at
times insular, guarded and top-down in its decision
making to one that is collaborative, intellectually
curious and driven by experimentation.
Our Programme
The Global Alliance for Media Innovation (GAMI) aims
to build up an ecosystem where news parofessionals
can imagine and create the next generation of news
products and services. The environment for our
industry for the future is one of constant change and
innovation. This change needs to be both faster and
broader. Our industry requires a reliable flood of new
technologies, products, business models, and talents.
We are witnessing the future of news media being
invented right now, all around the globe, by hundreds
of companies, universities, and entrepreneurs.
However, their separate efforts, research, prototypes,
and roll-outs receive inconsistent attention and analysis.
Many good ideas fail only because of a lack of
development support. Others get hyped beyond their
real value. Vital lessons and examples are not being
widely enough, or rapidly, enough disseminated. GAMI
tracks, sources, and shares these strategic resources to
the beneift of bth technology entrepreneurs and the
news organisations. Our mission is to know what
applied research and innovation efforts are in the works
with growth potential for the news media industry, and
to advance those projects and innovations to the
market.
