Short but fairly interesting interview with Elizabeth Spiers, formerly of Gawker, over at the 92Y blog. She gives a couple of interesting responses to questions, including this one:
Having worked in both print and online media, what do you think is the biggest difference between the two? There are no space constraints in online and instant publishing speeds up the news cycle. Other than that, not much, at least for us. The reportage process is exactly the same.
I think that's something that should be taken on board by a lot of news organisations, who - even now - still don't get it: the web deserves more time than many moguls, proprietors and publishers are prepared to give it.
