Published by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, the Journalism, Media, and Technology Trends and Predictions 2026 report examines how generative AI, shifting audience behaviours, and the rise of creators are accelerating change across the news industry.

Join lead author Nic Newman, Senior Research Associate at the Reuters Institute, as he presents and discusses the report’s key findings with Mitali Mukherjee, Director of the Reuters Institute, and Joanna Webster, Global Editor, Agency News Strategy at Reuters. Together, they will explore what the insights mean for media organisations today and in the year ahead.

The session will delve into how AI is reshaping newsroom workflows and content discovery, why personality-led and creator-driven news continues to gain traction, and how publishers can remain distinctive, trusted, and relevant in an increasingly fragmented media landscape.
