Every visit to Poland brings me new excitement and even more reasons to invite you to Kraków for our upcoming 2025 World News Media Congress on May 4-6. This week, I visited our colleagues from Ringier Axel Springer Polska (RASP), Aleksander Kutela, Jovan Protic, Sabina Lipska, Grzegorz Krawczyk, Danuta Breguła, Krzysztof Stopa, Monika Remiszewska, Marcin Dzienniak, Aleksandra Brzozowska. Ringier Axel Springer Polska's Onet is the largest online news service in the European Union and 17th in the world, according to data from Similarweb. ► The content platform has been undergoing an impressive transformation since 2018, and today delivers an amazing content portfolio combining reach, quality and UX that can be considered a playbook for many publishers worldwide. ► Onet's partnership programme brings together 350 publishers in a user-friendly Instant Article-like interface. ► RASP spares no effort when it comes to audio and video. Onet Rano, its "morning show on wheels," is a good example of an innovative audio format that successfully meets its audience. ► Onet produces 1,600 premium content pieces monthly, including 120 premium audio episodes. ► ..... we hope to share much more at the 2005 World News Media Congress in Kraków on May 4-6 2025. Stay tuned 🤗

Take a close look at the UMid (Unique Media Identifier) initiative, which is currently open for public consultation. The debate about information integrity is gaining momentum. It's now more crucial than ever for the press to take meaningful and coordinated action. ► *THE BIG PICTURE* The effectiveness of our information landscape relies on digital platforms, which use algorithms to determine content visibility. These systems need updated criteria for including or excluding content based on trustworthy sources versus unreliable ones. ► *WHY IT MATTERS* In the news media sector, many brand names and channel titles can sound alike, sometimes coincidentally but often intentionally. Malicious actors exploit this similarity to create confusion and mislead audiences, advertisers, and the algorithm-driven recommender systems of search and social media platforms that influence our attention and advertisers' spending. ► *THE BOTTOM LINE* UMid will provide transparent and neutral signals to media outlets, enabling industry players, regulators, and audiences to clearly identify information sources, including tracing ownership. While media identifiers do exist, they are often incomplete and uncoordinated. UMid aims to harmonize these efforts, reducing errors, speeding up processes, and preventing mismatches in media indexing. Olaf Steenfadt, Jesper Doub, Gregor Roschkowski
