Speaking as an editor at Workforce Management, a publication that has one editorial staff and delivers its stories via Web, print, e-mail newsletters, even Twitter (hat tip to Bob Scally, the online editor), I can't believe some pubs STILL separate their print and online writers and editors into rival camps. Madness. It was a sad day when one of our sister publications, Financial Week, had layoffs. But in a flip of the instances the Observer story cited, Crain, our parent company, kept the Web site, and closed down the weekly print publication. I think Crain, which took a while to warm to the Web, gets it. That NY Observer story is breathtaking.
