Reaction: Survey of Online Journalists

Written by Ryan Thornburg July 15, 2008 9:44 am EDT 1 comment

The survey of journalists working online at North Carolina newspapers has begun to receive some insightful feedback from others, both on this site and around the Web. It’s a good time to summarize some of the responses here. I’m looking forward to hearing from more people, especially if you have a question that the data I’ve collected might help answer. For me, two big questions remain:

• Can we come up with a somewhat standardized set of job titles and descriptions for online newsrooms circa 2008?
• Is there a way to look at newsrooms skills and organization structures to determine “the best” way to structure an online news operation?
