✔️ mindset
✔️ goods and services
✔️ organizational function

In her @niemanlab.org Predictions for Journalism 2026, @cindyroyal.bsky.social traces how news product teams are becoming central to unlocking AI’s value in media, an idea sparked by Anthony Maggio’s keynote at the #NPASummit 2025.

My 2026 prediction was inspired by something I heard from the very first keynote at the @newsproduct.org Summit. I discuss how product teams will lead the way to unlocking the value of AI for media organizations in three areas: agents, archives and vibe coding.
@cindyroyal.bsky.social: “Archives can be used to create new value from decades of reporting, becoming a living, dynamic asset rather than an attic of locked-away, hidden gems.”

To be impactful, high-quality journalism needs to be presented and distributed in ways that match how communities are looking for information. Especially at a moment when AI is transforming every phase of the process.

At the @newsproduct.org Summit, Meena Thiruvengadam says concerns about safety shifted the conversation around audience engagement: “In a world where people can be barred from crossing borders because of a post or like online, newsrooms may have to rethink the way they measure success.”

The #NPMC isn’t one-size-fits-all — and that’s the point. It’s designed as a space for learning, testing, and validation — a program each participant can tailor to their own stage of the professional journey, whether they’re shifting roles, developing a new product, or evolving an existing one.

Understanding audiences — their needs, behaviors, and motivations — is at the heart of effective product management in news.

Are you passionate about leading programs independently, from setup to evaluation? Do you have 5+ years of experience in program or project management?

From analyzing audience research to supporting brainstorming and opportunity mapping, AI can be a powerful thinking partner and help product managers enhance – not replace – their product intuition.

For some of our #NPMC alumni, the program has been life-changing — helping them clarify where they want their careers to go and what kind of impact they want to make.

Newsrooms have spent decades building audiences on platforms they don’t control — and when those platforms change their rules, those relationships vanish.
