More on the Pioneer Press redesign

It’s day two. How are you holding up?

Ben Ramsden is one of the people who helped redesign the St. Paul Pioneer Press newspaper. He has a blog and talks about it.

I’m still trying to figure out the “online time stamp” thing. Today’s says “online at 4:26 p.m.” Intriguing.

Meanwhile, local media analyst David Brauer notes that the “the web tail is clearly wagging the print dog.” (I admit to muttering “it’s about time” when I read that but perhaps it’s worth more thought.)

For another look at life inside life’s intrusions, Lost Remote’s Liz Foreman compares her TV station job to her newspaper job. It turns out some people are actually leaving TV to go work at newspapers. Who knew?
