Newswire was featured at WAN-IFRA’s Digital Media Asia 2025 conference held in Kuala Lumpur, where Co-Founder and CEO Umair Wolid presented the platform’s growth journey to an international audience of media professionals and industry leaders.
Speaking during a session on Social Media Content and Monetization Strategy, Umair walked through how the Newswire platform was built during Sri Lanka’s COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 and scaled through the country’s subsequent economic and political crises. The presentation focused on the platform’s use of social media, mobile-first content formats, and a consistent emphasis on speed, simplicity, and credibility.
The audience responded positively to the presentation, with many noting the innovative News monetization and distribution tools to reach large and diverse audiences. The session highlighted how digital newsrooms in emerging markets are adapting quickly to changing reader behavior and platform dynamics.
Newswire’s journey offered a case study in building trust, resilience, and relevance in a fast-evolving media landscape.
