I think the problem revolves around the fact that people are trying to do too much in too little time. Hence spinning and copying of content without actually adding any value to the topic is all we are left with for majority of topics that are present, be it any kind of media. People need to realize that perspective, the fresh point of view makes things to turn into great from average and from insipid to engaging.

I think that the major problem lying behind this practice are those financial issues that editors have to face every month. Maintaining monthly editions is costly and editors rely mainly on big advertisers. In the situation where a good amount of content producers practice self-censorship to protect the financial interest of both the owners and the major advertisers of their publishing company, i think that is reasonable for them to completely rely on the “safe” press releases to fill up the pages.
And of course, there is also the issue of inexperienced, lazy or completely unresponsible ppl. who simply can’t or won’t put the required effort in the writing of an original article.

Hi folks like the new look but echo earlier comment about lack of social sharing buttons/function. Also even more critical, a search function. I want to update links from several of your old but great posts and can’t find them. And of course neither can Google. After all, you are the “Online” JR, right?
