“Existential challenges abound.” So reads the executive summary of a new report from Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism about journalism and technology trends in 2026.
The report, published Monday, draws on interviews with 280 news executives from 51 countries — mostly from the U.K., U.S., and European countries, but also from the Philippines, Vietnam, Mexico, Egypt, Kenya, Uruguay, and others. The two most common titles were editor-in-chief and CEO. Think of the trends report as the survey-based cousin to our own Nieman Lab Predictions for Journalism. There was a lot of crossover, from rethinking news distribution in the age of AI, what lessons to take from the rise of creators, and waking up to audience apathy (rather than distrust) as a major threat.
