The new integration: newsroom and developers - #newsrw

Oneman and his blog reporting:
Raju Narisetti, Wall Street Journal Digital: If in 2012, if you're still talking about integrating print and digital, you're in deep, deep trouble. Good journalism matters - but experiencing that content matters even more. Good content is a table stake. everyone has to have it. Digital audiences will be even more promiscuous than they are now. They can experience other brands with the click of a finger, and through what is coming to them via social. And the only growth they're going to get from their businesses is from digital audiences. In 2012, the definition of a journalist must include bringing people to their journalism. What will enable that? The winners and losers will be separated at the intersection of content and technology...
,,,Joanna Geary, The Guardian: There is only one newsroom in The Guardian. The plan has always been to embrace the future platforms for the audience. You can't build a business model where the audiences are. The newsroom integrated in 2008 when they moved to Kings Place. This year they went truly digital first. The majority of the newsroom is dedicated to getting stories out on line. There's a slow stream - focused on producing up to 30% of the newspaper's content ahead of time. We get slightly excited by process change talking from print to digital. The process is great, but can really fall on their arse if you don't get a cultural change. There's a real need for an understanding in newsrooms about what developers do. That's a tough thing to crack. Bring eyeballs isn't enough anymore - they might not know it's our content. They might not care. We need to think of them as people and start building relationships with them. We have done well at bringing people to our content - but we have no idea why them come back...
