Why specialist media can thrive in digital - Colin Morrison: Yes, digital media is disruptive, but specialist publishers are in a stronger position than general news media if they can embrace the opportunities, argues Colin Morrison, non-exec director and experienced senior publisher. Knowing your specialist audience well, providing exactly what they want and being flexible in the use of different media are key to a successful digital transition. Plus watching out for competitors from unexpected directions.
