In a major restructuring plan, the Financial Times' Newsroom 2009 project will see new "news integrator" positions created, as well as the introduction of a three-stage editorial process for all channels, journalism.co.uk reported Tuesday.
The news integrators will lead on the UK News/World, UK companies/ICN and features desks. According to the Newsroom 2009 plans, there will be no new redundancies due to the changes.
In order to end workflow inefficiencies, staff, including correspondents outside London, will be trained in online production so that they are able to work for the more digitally focused newsroom, taking on tasks such as online production, according to journalism.co.uk.
