The four strategic types focus on
different parts of the news
operation value chain. The
Donation strategy includes users in
the production of content. The
Distribution strategy utilizes viral
marketing in order to invite
potential users to consume this
content, while the Deliberation
strategy enables users to react and
interact with the produced and
distributed content. At last The
Data gathering strategy accumulate
information about users and their
interaction in order to better serve
the same users and potential
advertisers.

5. Conclusion
• The strategies for user involvement are changing. The
Distribution and Data Gathering strategies are strengthen in
importance, while Deliberation and Donation declines.
• This indicates that promotion and business development
gains significance at the expense of the traditional focus on
user participation to ensure media's social role.
• At the same time, the approaches increasing in importance
are those least likely to challenge the traditional
understanding of journalists' professional role.
