I hear from ridiculously reliable sources that a very senior member of management has said The Herald/Sunday Herald/Evening Times are not only looking at a seven-day shared operation – that much is already known – but that it extends as far as reporters and photographers, who will find themselves writing across all of the titles.
It’s a risky experiment and one that’s failed before in places, so good luck to them. I think it’s a terrible idea as reporters/photographers should reflect their paper – and what necessarily makes good copy/picture for one paper isn’t good for another.
Just going through the blog pack pages and I can’t believe I was six month’s ahead on this one. Wish I had been wrong given then way it played out…
Your impressive crystal ball also picked up on something that has eluded the Horrid’s management: “It’s a terrible idea.”
