About The Media Rumble
Who we are
Each year, we bring together leading news professionals, tech innovators, policymakers, filmmakers, and investors from across the world to discuss the future of news, tech, and policy.
Why TMR
News is the public square of our digital age. It empowers, entertains, shapes opinion, sparks debate and drives legislation. TMR pushes the industry to look within and provides a common platform to discuss the challenges and opportunities confronting it.
What they say about The Media Rumble
Govindraj Ethiraj
"This is my second year at TMR I’ve learned something new, I’ve been inspired by some of the people I’ve met, and I’ve got ideas to do things in my own organization when I go back, TMR is the only platform of its kind, and therefore it is succeeding where no one else is succeeding, and it is doing something that no one else is doing."
Monalisa Changkija
"I feel it is important that I am heard, by that I don’t mean individually, but that we are heard, we from the North East and TMR gives that platform."
Vrinda Grover
"The Media Rumble is an important event because it’s a critique from within…the media is looking within, but it’s also asking others to look at itself, particularly at a time like this when the media is playing a very crucial role in shaping public opinion."
