It is refreshing to see a traditional newspaper group embracing the internet with boldness. It is often considered safer to just dip a toe in the water but this only delays positioning the business to face the inevitable. Our leisure time is not increasing and the pie chart of how we spend that time is divided up more in favour of the internet at the expense of television and time spent reading newspapers and magazines.Regional newspapers like Johnson Press have the platform to become the local hub of news and information for communities but only if they embrace fully the online world. Fear of canibalisation pervades most corridors of power in the publishing industry but evidence to support this view is thin. But as people spend more time on line there is no other future but to be there with a compelling offering when they login. YUDU has built a technology and business model to embrace this world and we see success stories first hand every day that supports Tim Bowdler's vision.
