Oh, boy! Jeff Jarvis is mad.
Really mad.
A crazy managing editor at the Philadelphia Inquirer wants to hold all but the breaking news until the printing presses start to deliver the paper.
Here is the memo.
Here is Jeff’s reaction.
And here are my comments on this mess:
This is an old story:The offline boys against the online boys.
The solution:
Newsroom integration.
The challenge:
A fully-integrated 24/7 news operation.
The vision:
An online newsroom that also edits a print edition.
The lesson:
They don’t work FOR us.
They work WITH us.
Because ALL OF US are the same, and are working for the same things:
Readers + Audiences + Communities.
The rest is history.
Or going against the future.
