After some minor technical difficulties, Jim Brady of WashingtonPost..com started his presentiation with an interesting timeline of internet news at the Post. Highlights include:
1999: “You lost how much money last year?”
2000: “See, the web was just a fad.”
Since those rough years, the Post has shifted to a “web editor” model for presenting media on the web.
Brady talked about how the web allows for more experimentation, and how they’re more likely to experiment with stories on the web.
What really caught my attention was that the newsrooms for the paper and for the website are in completely different buildings about 5 miles away from each other. They could just as easily be across the globe and probably be just as efficient.
