Will there be anyone left to transition?
A while back I wrote about the Albany Times Union’s decision to spend a fortune on a new building and presses. Now it’s buying out 30 newsroom employees. All this, we learn from Editor M. Monica Bartoszek (via Editor and Publisher), is consistent with a plan “to accelerate our transition from a traditional newspaper to a multimedia company.”
Big fancy new presses for the print product. Fewer journalists to create multimedia. Sounds like a solid plan.
