"I was well aware of KR's plan to consolidate copy editing"

Romenesko Letters
"This was a plan being developed in the mid-2000s and it would have taken them more than five years to implement it," writes the Philadelphia Inquirer's David Sullivan. "I have no idea whether the plan was junked before Knight Ridder itself was junked." He adds: "I believe that efforts to move copy desks out of newsrooms is generally a bad thing. ...A distant copy desk serving multiple papers will become a copy desk that cares mainly about its own internal issues and stops having a relationship with the reporters and assigning editors of the newspapers."
