The Chicago Tribune has a new senior manager:
The Chicago Tribune has named Bill Adee associate managing editor for innovation, a new position that will help shape editorial Internet initiatives, prepare the newsroom for an increasingly digital future and spearhead the newspaper’s efforts to produce quality journalism online.
…
As the associate managing editor for innovation, Adee will oversee a restructured editorial department merging the multi-media staff and the 24- hour continuous news desk and supervise all online news and feature operations.
Notice the changes within the newsroom? I’ve maintained that college media organizations need to bump their “online editor” position higher in the management org chart. It shows a commitment to taking the new media world seriously.
