FT's next stage of digital transition

Andy Dickinson has drawn my attention to a leaking of details of a reorganisation of the FT newsroom.

The document states that

The priority for the organisation is to tilt the workflow towards the online content and to streamline the newspaper process.

In a question and answer document presumably for employees it says that

Despite the changes made at the company back in 2006,the world has not stood still and that catering for the online customer is now a priority.

The plan is for no more redundancies from those announced in Jan and in response to questions about whether this will mean an increased workload for journalists,the paper says that there will be some contraction on the print side with second edition pages being reduced.

As to the vexed question on subbing the document says that

we do need to move away from treating copy editing as a single demarcating in the traditional newspaper process.ie that subbing is done as far up the process as possible
