By: Kendall McCabe | 06/04/2013

With consumers searching less frequently for stories and expecting the news to find them, newsrooms must adapt their distribution strategies, ICFJ Knight International Journalism Fellow Justin Arenstein told workshop attendees at the recent World Editors Forum in Bangkok.
