Online First?

Chris O’Brien, who has been working on the The Next Newsroom Project, recently wrote an interesting post for the Knight Digital Media Center leadership blog on what being an online first newsroom really means. Chris’s post does a good job of challenging conventional thinking about online journalism. The short story, as most online veterans know, is it’s not just about posting content online first, but insinuating thinking and planning for the Web into the very fabric of traditional or merged newsrooms. The post is worth a read.
