Blogger Ryan Sholin corralled the executive editor of online news at the Philadelphia Inquirer, Chris Kewson, and extracted some clarity on why the paper is publishing all but breaking news in print before (or, as Kewson asserts, simultaneously) doing so online. The memo is here (beneath a lengthy one on the Chicago Tribune) at Romenesko.
Kewson notes that bloggers won't be permitted to file full columns online first, and that investigative and enterprise pieces will run in print first because, after all, that isn't what people are going online to read routinely. Other than that, business as usual.
