“Sometime soon, Facebook will get in the way of using Facebook for a minute or two. The social network will present a series of dialogs to U.S. users to remind them of their privacy options and give them a chance to change them.

Digital Publishing: After Years of Tinkering with Paywalls, Publishers are Creating the Right Funnel to Find Digital Subscribers – Editor & Publisher

“Just 10 percent of your readers could make or break your company’s digital future.

That’s the opinion of Ken Doctor, the media analyst who has been breaking down the “Newsonomics” of our industry for years.
