Lewis Dvorkin, the chief product officer at Forbes, writes in the Feb. 13 issue about how the magazine is expanding its editorial base.
Dvorkin writes, “The result of our efforts: a high quality, scalable and efficient model for journalism that enables us to provide FORBES readers with more comprehensive and in-depth business news coverage.
“We now have a distributed force of 1,000 expert reporters and writers. A few weeks back, six full-time staffers and 14 contributors roamed the sprawling Consumer Electronics Show.
