In a world where information travels faster than ever, journalism is facing unprecedented challenges. From misinformation and disinformation to the growing impact of artificial intelligence and the increasing pressures on newsroom professionals, the need for resilient, trustworthy journalism has never been greater.

These issues will take centre stage at the 2026 ABU Global News Forum (GNF), taking place from 2–4 September in Sydney, Australia, in partnership with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). Returning to Australia for the first time in a decade, the Forum will bring together news executives, editors, journalists and media leaders from across the Asia-Pacific and beyond to discuss the future of news under the theme “Resilient Journalism: Safeguarding Truth and Wellbeing.”

Over three days, participants will explore practical strategies to strengthen public trust, protect editorial integrity, navigate emerging technologies, and support the wellbeing of journalists working in increasingly demanding environments. As the media landscape continues to evolve, the conversations taking place at GNF will help shape how broadcasters respond to the challenges and opportunities of the years ahead.

Whether you are a newsroom leader, editor, reporter, producer or media professional, the Global News Forum offers a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from international experts and contribute to shaping the future of journalism.

Registration is now open. We encourage all ABU Members and media professionals to secure their place and join us in Sydney this September for one of the region’s most important conversations on the future of news.
