Good notices on plan's details

The Washington Post says: "While other newspapers, including The Washington Post, have aggressively expanded their online presence or merged it with their print newsrooms, Gannett's move is the industry's first wide-scale overhaul, in name and purpose.

"'It's pretty big,' said Michael Maness, Gannett's vice president of strategic planning. 'It's a fairly fundamental restructuring of how we go about news and information on a daily basis.'"

At the Poynter Institute, Steve Klein writes: "Gannett is finally speeding ahead after a cautious-at-best and slow-at-worst approach to a cross-platform media strategy -- despite the success of USAToday.com (now part of a converged news operation with the five-day-a-week newspaper)."

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
