Get your newsroom set up for the new year with support from an industry expert to laser-focus your priorities for 2026.
In partnership with our friends at Other Labs, LINA has 6 spaces for newsrooms to do a quick-round re-set with mentor advice:
- 1 x 3 hour SWOT analysis session
- 3 x 1 hour follow up sessions to implement your plan
This is a limited opportunity to get a helicopter view of your organisation, informed by industry knowledge, to help identify effective ways to spend your time coming into the new year.
The total commitment is 6 hours of time, flexible timing to suit your schedule, offered at a subsidised rate of $600 + GST for LINA members
