Recently installed editor James O’Shea announced that the newspaper would integrate its print and online newsrooms, saying the paper is engaged in “a fight to recoup threatened revenue that finances our news gathering.” He also named business editor Russ Stanton to the newly created position of Special Editor for Innovation, and announced that the print edition of the paper would soon undergo a full redesign.
Sorry Dr. Newquist, but it looks like this online thing might stick around for a while. You might need to bring a laptop to breakfast in 2009 or so as you eat your Wheaties.
