Johnston Press told investors this morning that it expects editorial content will be split fifty-fifty between journalists and “community contributors” by 2020.
At present just 10 per cent of Johnston Press editorial content is created by readers and 90 per cent by journalists – but within nine years it expects readers and journalists to produce roughly the same level of content.
In its strategy presentation today the publisher predicted its digital audience will grow from its current level of 10m to 20m by 2020, while its print audience will shrink from 11m to 8m over the same period.

This is quite a good article. Many new questions emerge to the surface, all you need do is to read further information about the issues. Only then one can form a final view on a particular subject. Otherwise everything is seen only in the dimension of cum more black and white. The natural logic of evaluating things before vstavane skrine they were properly cognitively processed is a horrible mistake, made by those less intelligent. People should not throw away their common slovakia sense easily. Anything and everything deserves appropriate time for making judgements.
