Digital First. Print Last. The Gospel According to John Paton

John Paton's controversial strategy for saving the newspaper industry is transforming a chain of 150 papers including established titles like The Denver Post, The Detroit News and the San Jose Mercury News. Paton, a former publisher of the London Free Press and Sun Media executive and now CEO of New York-based Digital First Media, believes that digital is where the money is and he’s got the track record to back that up. Named “Publisher of the Year” in 2009 by Editor & Publisher, Paton shared his insights, followed by a conversation with Douglas Knight, president of St. Joseph Media.
