Learning paths

Dive into common challenges of news product management with these curated lists of resources, divided by subject. Learn at your own pace, while following a structured path.

  • Product management emerged in tech companies to put the audience — or the customer — at the center of decision making. In news organizations there are different kinds of end users: audience segments, advertisers, partners or even coworkers that use a tool or software we are developing. Newsrooms must connect their audience's needs to their editorial mission and develop a sustainable business strategy, while maintaining journalistic ethical standards. Product thinkers create a bridge so that revenue and editorial teams can align their interests. This learning path will help you to better understand what news product thinking is, and how you can get started.

    What is the ‘product’ of journalism?

    A short and sweet argument that journalists need to rethink/better understand what their product is, complete with a shoutout to NPA! :) A journalist's product isn't a single article, just like Frito-Lay's product isn't a single potato chip. Journalists' service is collecting and filtering information, but where it becomes product is how they distribute it and how the audience experiences/interacts with it.

  • El área de gestión de productos surgió en las empresas de tecnología con el fin de colocar a la audiencia -o al usuario- en el centro del proceso de toma de decisiones. En las organizaciones de noticias, hay diferentes tipos de usuarios finales a tener en cuenta. Podemos trabajar con un segmento de audiencia, con anunciantes, socios o incluso colaboradores que utilizarán una herramienta o software que estamos desarrollando. Las redacciones tienen una tarea aún más difícil: necesitan conectar las necesidades de la audiencia con su misión editorial y el desarrollo de una estrategia comercial sostenible, a menudo con recursos limitados. Los profesionales de producto construyen puentes para que los equipos editoriales y comerciales puedan alinear sus intereses, mientras mantienen posiciones éticas. Este learning path lo ayudará a comprender mejor qué es el pensamiento de producto en el periodismo y cómo puede comenzar en esta área.

  • A área de gestão de produto emergiu em empresas de tecnologia de modo a colocar a audiência - ou o cliente - no centro do processo decisório. Em empresas de notícias, existem diferentes tipos de usuários finais a se manter em mente. Podemos trabalhar com um segmento de audiência, com anunciantes, parceiros, ou mesmo colaboradores que vão usar uma ferramenta ou software que estejamos desenvolvendo. Redações têm uma tarefa ainda mais difícil: precisam conectar as necessidades da audiência com sua missão editorial e o desenvolvimento de uma estratégia de negócios sustentável, normalmente com recursos limitados. Profissionais de produto criam pontes de modo que times editoriais e de receita possam alinhar seus interesses - mas ainda mantendo posturas éticas. Este learning path vai ajudá-lo a compreender melhor o que é o pensamento de produto no jornalismo, e como você pode começar nessa área.
