The news is out! Collective Newsroom and nxtedition have been named IBC2026 Innovation Awards finalists 🎉
Recognised in the Content Creation category, the entry celebrates the next-generation multilingual newsroom built for Collective Newsroom in Delhi, supporting nine languages across digital, TV and audio for a potential audience of 70 million people.
Built on nxtedition, the newsroom brings scripting, media management, editing, HTML graphics, studio automation, playout, social publishing, post production and radio into one connected environment. Its on-premise infrastructure and local AI processing help reduce technical friction and let journalists focus on storytelling.
Delivered in close collaboration with the BBC and system integrator Ideal Systems Singapore, the newsroom went live on schedule despite an incredibly tight deadline and some seriously challenging conditions.
It was a huge team effort, and we’re so proud to see the ambition, collaboration and technology behind it recognised by the IBC judges.
Now we just need you to wish us luck for September! 🤞
