ABOUT NEWSPLEX
When Newsplex opened in 2002, some questioned the need for a facility to experiment with and train on next-generation techniques for editing and presenting the news. Much has changed since then. Now, news organizations all over the world are grappling with an uncertain future. Circulation is declining, ratings are falling and audiences are obtaining news and information from a variety of sources, many of them new and non-traditional. To some, this is a frightening time to be in journalism. In Newsplex, we see it as a time of opportunity. Traditional news organizations are favorably positioned for the future if they are willing to use their journalistic strengths in different formats and delivery platforms. In other words, if they focus on stories rather than a particular production process. That is the Newsplex philosophy and the reason why the Ifra Newsplex was built. |
