Session will disseminate best practice/current state of play around media labs and innovation processes within a newsroom environment. It will combine both research presentation with peer-to-peer learning, to allow participants to better understand innovation structures and approaches through both hearing research outputs, and through interacting with one-another. Initial presentation based on Ana Cecilia Bisso Nunes, John Mills, GAMI and friends' work on media labs, structures and processes conducted over the last four years will provide key insights and background to how newsroom structures are evolving on a global scale. This will accompany a chapter published as part of the Trends in Newsroom report in the fall. It will also update on current research that is attempting to better understand innovation processes, initially from a funders’ perspectives. The workshop will allow participants to recount their own experiences, share learning within one-another and work with the research team to plot best innovation processes for them. Final output would be to identify key approaches, metrics and pitfalls. Background: this workshop is also geared towards collecting data for a new project funded by the European Media Management Association. Innovating journalism structures and processes will run for 12 months and aims to understand key innovation processes across Latin America and Europe.
