Inductees from publishers include five young journalists featured in Newsworks’ ‘Future of News’ initiative, as well as three commercial leaders
Unveiled on Wednesday, the list brings together a diverse group of individuals driving the future of the media industry. The list is particularly notable for not discriminating based on age, time spent in the industry or current job title.
Those inducted were judged on their ‘proven ability to embrace disruption, inclusion, courage, and excellence’.

- Aletha Adu (political correspondent, Daily Mirror — soon to be The Guardian)
