William Turvill 0f City A.M. in London writes about how the strategy at Forbes is upsetting traditional journalists.
“When Forbes launched BrandVoice – a period in which the company also started giving independent external contributors access to its website to upload content – it was ‘betting the ranch’, he says.
“’It was a big bet, and everybody at that time said: ‘You just killed your company. It’s going to die. It’s never going to survive.’ Well, here we are six years later, and not only are we surviving, but we’re prospering and we’re doing new things.’
