Online vet and Former NYT.com editor in chief Rich Meislin, who was there at the beginning, will be a key part of the newly merged NYT newsrooms as associate managing editor for internet publishing, moving up from tech news editor in Bizday. His appointment was announced today by Jonanthan Landman, appointed earlier this week to oversee the integration of the NYT.com and print newsrooms. Landman writes: “Rich
will be intimately involved in inventing and cultivating new
journalistic forms while at the same time guiding our web presence
according to journalistic values that are not new at all. The title
reflects both the unique skills and experience Rich brings to the job
and the importance it has for every corner of the operation.”
The announcement also sheds some light on other management … the web staff continues to report directly to Len Apcar, who has been NYT.com editor in chief for three years but wasn’t mentioned at all in the memo earlier this week. Bill Brink will continue with, well, continuous news.
Landman uses an odd phrase to describe it all — ” the newsroom integration experiment.” Sorry, but aren’t we a little past the experiment phase?
