The Future Newsrooms Study 2026

The Future Newsrooms Study is a landmark global benchmark that explores how news organisations are redefining editorial strategy, audience relationships and newsroom capabilities in response to changing audience behaviours, the disruption caused by artificial intelligence and an increasingly saturated information environment.

Drawing on survey data from 448 newsroom leaders in 86 countries, insights from a 10-member international advisory board and interviews with editorial and executive leaders worldwide, the report highlights an industry at a turning point.

What makes us different?

Unlike traditional consultancies, we are a unique blend of media practitioners and strategy experts. We combine the experience of the Financial Times with insights from more than 1,000 media organisations we have worked with globally to deliver something uniquely valuable. Our focus is simple: real impact. We measure success by the results we help our clients achieve, from quadrupling subscription revenue to transforming newsrooms and unlocking the power of AI.

What truly sets us apart is the belief in our mission. We are deeply invested in every engagement because we believe a strong, sustainable media ecosystem is essential to a better, more informed world.

As an editorially-led business who has embraced digital, we have found FT Strategies to be a highly credible partner bringing affinity, ambition and expertise.
