INMA – 12/03/2020

About half of the news media companies responding to an INMA survey this week on COVID-19 impact had contingency plans in place to operationally pivot in a pandemic-like situation — yet half did not. In response, cross-enterprise task forces are rapidly transforming how business gets done in either a virtual environment or in a more tightly regulated in-person workplace.
The 56 survey respondents are members of the International News Media Association (INMA) and mostly media companies representing global, national, or major metropolitan brands as well as groups.
