Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
You may have read in last week’s Sunday Monitor about personnel changes in the newsroom. If you’re like me, you probably wondered about the story behind the story: What’s really happening?
Sorry, there's no juicy hidden agenda. But after watching several colleagues try out their new roles for a week, I thought I'd share a little more about our aims.
In case you missed it, we moved Managing Editor Ari Richter to the new position of Opinion editor and Sunday Editor Felice Belman to Ari’s job. Ric Tracewski switched from features – mainly the daily D sections – to news editor. Danielle Kronk became deputy city editor and Jen VanPelt feature editor.
Nearly two years ago, we set out to evaluate our content and to redesign the Monitor accordingly. We found much that needed improving. We also realized we had embarked on a never-ending challenge: We could remain true to our mission only if we were constantly adjusting our content to meet changing reader needs.
The new newsroom lineup will help us achieve several aims during the next few months. For example:
– Better story planning. For some time we have liked the idea of news-feature centerpieces for the main hard-news pages – A-1, A-2 and B-1. We’re counting on Belman’s planning skills and Tracewski’s design talent and news judgment to help us improve in this area.
– Better integration of daily and Sunday content. Kronk and City Editor Hans Schulz have taken on this task.
– New typography. Look for this in the fall. Most of the editors have been working on it, along with some reporters and Charlotte Thibault, the newsroom artist.
– An improved report on area towns. This is also a work in progress, but I have confidence in our reporting team and the leadership of Kronk and other editors.
– More opinion content on state and local issues. We identified this as a goal early in the redesign process. I’ll be working with Richter and Editorial Page Editor Ralph Jimenez to make it happen.
– New feature content and design. We’re in the early stages of developing this. When we hatch a plan, VanPelt will lead the effort. We have brought in a new design editor, Vanessa Valdes, to help.
Please stay tuned. As usual, we’ll be bouncing major ideas off readers before deciding how to proceed. And we’ll do our best to see that the coming changes are pleasant surprises, not the other kind.

Comments
If you want a blog that will attract viewers and some comments, you need to do more interesting posts. The school funding post was a good one. This one and the one about your former colleague Birkner are boring.
