Smith: Print No Longer SR Main Focus

In the SR newsroom, we MUST understand and then embrace the notion that print is no longer our primary focus. As advanced as we are in the digital delivery of news ... we are still too print focused. We need to devote FEWER resources to print. Our editors ned to spend far less time worrying about print. And all of us need to be focusing on how to improve and expand the scope and quality of our digital news and information (and that includes radio). This is a huge cultural leap. The push back will be extreme. Work schedules will have to change. Skills will have to be refined or re-taught or learned for the first time/Steve Smith, News Is A Conversation. More here.
