Laut seinem Blog arbeitet er dort als “database editor”. Nicht nur für Journalisten - Stichwort Computer Assisted Reporting - werden Web-Datenbanken immer wichtiger, auch Nutzern selbst können viele Informationen ganz anders vermittelt werden. Viele Kollegen hätten Willis’ Schritt mit Kopfschütteln kommentiert. Er selbst schreibt zum Zusammenspiel von Print und Online: What’s important is that the entire operation recognize that we succeed or fail together. It’s not “the paper or the web,â€? but the journalism everywhere. And for me, that job starts tomorrow.

Not that I've been here long enough to play welcoming committee. And I never really got the divide between newsroom and website either.
