How do you turn a battleship?
Slate magazine has a piece up about the Daily Telegraph, the venerable London newspaper that has been going through a lot of upheaval of late — changing editors repeatedly, axing hundreds of staff, moving into a new building and simultaneously trying to turn the newspaper into a digital multimedia enterprise. As the story puts it:
For a paper that fancies itself retrograde in all matters political and aesthetic (even its Gothic logo has barely changed in a half-century), the Telegraph’s move from a print newspaper to a multimedia hybrid is worth studying. How do you steer an old battleship into a new harbor?
Not many details about the new “hub and spoke” newsroom, or about the multimedia efforts of reporters, but some mention of podcasts and blogs and so on. Worth a look.
