The INMA Young Audiences Summit concluded on September 17, 2026, with speakers emphasizing that the creator economy presents an existential challenge to newsrooms, advocating for a focus on audience habitats rather than traditional newsroom habits. This followed discussions on September 14, 2026, about the state of publisher audiences in the "zero-click" era, where AI-powered search increasingly provides direct answers from multiple sources, potentially reducing the need for readers to click through to original source sites and challenging traditional search engine optimization.

On the same day, Jeff D’Onofrio was officially appointed publisher and CEO of The Washington Post, a position he had been holding on an interim basis.
