Editor & Publisher's Joe Strupp reports today:
| Quote: | When Philip Bennett takes over as the new managing editor of The Washington Post in January, don't expect major changes right away.
But, when things do evolve under Bennett, expect an easier-to-navigate paper, expanded foreign coverage of life and issues beyond Iraq and the Middle East, and new ways to work with the Post's already exploding Web page.
...The San Francisco native, who graduated from Harvard University and is married to a Georgetown University professor, said making the paper better organized and more accessible is always a reader priority and one he hopes to help improve. He also cited a need to make as much use of the paper's award-winning Web site as possible.
"The Web has had such an influence on news," Bennett explained. "It is important to look at how much information is out there and that readers can have one source for information." |

Frank Ahrens of the Washington Post reports on a staff meeting held Thursday:
| Quote: | In an effort to win new readers, [Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr.] said Post reporters will be required to write shorter stories. The paper's design and copy editors will be given more authority to make room for more photographs and graphics.
The paper will undergo a redesign to make it easier for readers to find stories. It is considering filling the left-hand column of the front page with keys to stories elsewhere in the paper and other information readers say they want from the paper, which they often consider "too often too dull," Downie said.
"Newspapers should be fun and it should be fun to work at one," [new Managing Editor Philip Bennett] said. |
The reason for the staff meeting:
| Quote: | | The Post just wrapped up its annual self-evaluation meeting, an offsite event that includes top editors and executives from the paper's business side. This year's meeting focused on the paper's declining circulation -- now at 709,500 daily copies, down 10 percent over the past two years -- and the results of an extensive readership survey taken last summer. |
The redesign bit is at the very bottom of this story from today's Post:

Yeah, and the NewsDesigner beat me to this once again:
