• Robert Andrews, UK Editor of paidContent, which recently commissioned research from Harris Interactive that showed only 5 percent readers say they would pay for content
• Frédéric Filloux, editor for the international division of the Norwegian media group Schibsted ASA and co-author of the Monday Note blog.

Chairing the panel will be the director of UCLan's Journalism Leaders Programme, François Nel, whose paper on innovations in online business models featured at the recent Future of Journalism conference in Cardiff.
