    Goals / Remit

    The World Association of News Publishers, or WAN-IFRA, is the global organisation of the world’s press. Our mission is to protect the rights of journalists and publishers around the world to operate independent media. We provide our members with expertise and services to innovate and prosper in a digital world and perform their crucial role in society.

    WAN-IFRA is the world’s largest trade organisation for news publishers and a leading provider of real-time business and strategic intelligence services to news publishers and their technology partners around the globe. It derives its authority from its global network of 3,000 news publishing companies and technology entrepreneurs, and its legitimacy from its 60 member publisher associations representing 18,000 publications in 120 countries.

WAN-IFRA is a member of the consortium led by ECORYS Nederland BV in response to a call for proposals "Technical Assistance for the MEDIA UP 2 Programme".

    Global Alliance for Media Innovation (GAMI): Global Alliance for Media Innovation is the network for innovation within the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers. Following the launch of the Global Alliance for Media Innovation during WAN-IFRA’s World Congress in June 2014, we have established a brain trust of stakeholders involved in research and innovation for news media. The core of this group is composed of pioneers, media organisations (publishers and suppliers), and academic research labs dealing with technology transfer and research programmes in Europe (Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, UK), the Americas (Brazil, USA, Canada), and Southeast Asia (Singapore, Japan).https://media-innovation.news/

    World Editors Forum: The World Editors Forum is the leading global community of editors and is an integral part of WAN-IFRA. We stand up for a free press, quality journalism and newsroom transformation, and have been doing so for over 25 years. We work with editors to shape their newsrooms for the future. We do so by identifying innovation and trends, tools and best practices. We share this intelligence through our blog, newsletter, meetings, networking events, conferences, research and study tours. https://wan-ifra.org/world-editors-forum/

    Women in News: The WAN-IFRA Women in News initiative equip women journalists and editors with the skills, strategies, and support networks to take on greater leadership positions, while partnering with media to identify industry-led solutions to close the gender gap in their newsrooms, boardrooms, and in the content they produce. http://www.womeninnews.org/

    UNESCO: WAN-IFRA as an associate status partnership with UNESCO. UNESCO has built up over the years a valuable
    network of cooperation in its fields of competence with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) representing civil society. This partnership bears witness to the importance of the work of those organizations alongside government-sponsored action in international cooperation in the service of peoples for development, equality, international understanding and peace.

    Communication activities

    WAN-IFRA protects the rights of journalists and publishers to operate free media and promote editorial quality and professional practice. We provide our members at all stages of development with innovative and professional services to help their businesses prosper.

We do this through our publications and reports; our series of global and local events and forums where we facilitate easy peer-to-peer connections to share and learn from best practices; our advisory services and applied research programmes; our campaigns to advocate for press freedom; and our media development programmes supporting news professionals under threat or operating in fragile states.

    Meetings

    1 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
