Are editors still failing to grasp website potential?

A good spot by Kristine Lowe, the Norwegian-based blogger. While acknowledging that it's "hardly a riveting insight" to say that newspapers are failing to use the web to its full potential, she picked up on a comment by washingtonpost.com editor James Brady that deserves attention. Brady told the Associated Press managing editors conference in New Orleans: "In far too many cases, newspapers are still using sites for the basic task of reprinting the paper." Well, that may be the case in the US, but British papers - national and regional - have been doing much better in the past year. Most sites have interactive elements, and there are innovations week by week. (Via Kristine Lowe)
