As the industry agonises over charging for content, how do business models look set to evolve? With the pace of change quickening in the digital world, which strategies will secure new online audiences? Are traditional print media keeping pace with new digital powers - or will their revenues continue to shrink? And with the advertising downturn continuing to take hold, how can companies maximise revenues by taking full advantage of customer demands and innovation in the marketplace?
