WSJ.com - New York Times to Integrate Print and Online Newsrooms
WSJ.com - New York Times to Integrate Print and Online Newsrooms: "The New York Times plans to integrate its traditional print newsroom with its online newsroom, top management said Tuesday.
Staffers from the print side and from NYTimes.com will start collaborating on coverage much more frequently than they do now, said Bill Keller, executive editor of the Times, and Martin Nisenholtz, senior vice president for digital operations for the New York Times Co., in a memorandum to employees.
'By integrating the newsrooms we plan to diminish and eventually eliminate the difference between newspaper journalists and Web journalists,' they said. No staff reductions are planned as part of the integration, which will take shape in the coming months.
The print and online newsrooms are in separate buildings in Manhattan. The newspaper plans to integrate the two operations under one roof when the Times' new 52-story headquarters opens in Times Square in 2007."
