Washington Post reorganization makes single editor responsible for stories on all platforms


The Washington Post is undertaking a major reorganization of the newsroom "to create new reporting groups, streamline editing desks and anticipate the impending integration of our print and digital news operations," according to a memo from Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli

The memo says that "a single editor ultimately ought to be able to oversee all versions of a story, whether it appears in print, online or on a BlackBerry or iPhone. Space in the newspaper and editing firepower in general should be allocated based on a day’s news priorities, not a predetermined formula."
