Traditional newspapers have been under pressure from online for a long time. Long seen as slow and traditional, they have often struggled to make the switch to online. Part of this is due to the great emphasis on control and quality required to deliver a daily newspaper containing 100s of stories made by 60-200 journalists.

A lot of these requirements are recently resurfacing due to the need to again scale up the people, control and quality for larger online publications.
