Local World's chairman, David Montgomery, has revealed his vision of the future role for journalists employed by his regional newspaper group.According to a Press Gazette report based on a sight of Monty's mission statement, a single journalist will fill a weekly paper by "skimming online content" while dailies will be produced by a "handful" of office-based staff.And organisations, such as the police, hospitals, schools and businesses, will be able to publish their content directly to Local World's websites.Indeed, Monty's document refers to a "content harvesting process" in which most content will be provided by "third party contributors". The journalist's task will be to provide "attractive formats" for such content.Local World was created at the end of last year by the merger of two groups - Northcliffe and Iliffe - with a total of 16 dailies and 38 paid-for weeklies.Comment: Could this vision be the reason that Local World's chief executive, Steve Auckland, suddenly resigned a couple of weeks ago?Source: Press GazetteDavid MontgomeryLocal WorldSteve AucklandRegional & local newspapersDigital mediaNorthcliffe MediaRoy Greensladetheguardian.com © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
