Content Promotion: Overview Page
Imagine this scenario: two newspapers are putting out good content day after day. One's satisfaction is high and readership is growing.

In-paper content promotion increases satisfaction and readership by guiding readers, particularly infrequent ones, to interesting content and telling them about all the things that the newspaper has to offer.
