Digital Transformation Assesment

Helping independent media organisations strengthen what they’re already building

Many independent media organisations are already experimenting, adapting, and innovating — often with limited time, people, and budgets.

The Digital Transformation Assessment is designed to support organisations that are already on this journey. It offers a structured way to step back, assess progress, and decide where to focus next for the greatest impact — across editorial work, audience engagement, operations, and sustainability.

Why this assessment matters?

Why this assesment matters?

Digital transformation is ongoing work, not a one-time shift.

As audiences change, platforms evolve, and resources remain tight, independent media organisations face difficult choices about where to invest their time and energy.

This assessment helps you:

  • Clarify which digital practices are delivering value — and which are not
  • Focus limited resources on the areas that matter most
  • Strengthen audience reach and engagement
  • Support more sustainable and efficient ways of working
  • Build organisational resilience in a fast-changing media environment
