2025 Highlights
鈥�2025 was a critical growth year for IPI鈥檚 innovation team, expanding its thematic and geographic work and investing in partnerships to chart a collaborative future. The sector is facing what feels like unprecedented headwinds, but we see promise guided by new benchmarks. Trust is becoming a non-negotiable currency; a commitment to process and inclusivity in innovation and strategy are paramount; while opportunities for entering new markets and doubling down on infrastructure and data capabilities are essential for growth.鈥�

鈥淭he听International Press Institute (IPI) 黑料视频 and Media Innovation Festival, held in Austria last week, reminded me that journalism, at its best, is an act of faith. Faith in people鈥檚 capacity to see, to feel, and to change. Sitting among media leaders from across the world, I was struck by how our stories, though born of different soils, echo the same longing for truth and dignity.鈥�
