IHT move marks "integrated NYT report"

Article by the New York Times's David Kirkpatrick in the International Herald Tribune marking the first issue under the sole ownership of the NYT. Coverage from other papers such as the Washington Post will be reduced. The IHT's executive editor, Howell Raines, says the company is moving toward "a kind of integrated New York Times report that is carried in a variety of media, including the International Herald Tribune". This will have a big impact on the way the company works: "Our journalistic clock will change. We will be a more 24-hour news-gathering organisation." Forrie corries will be expected to meet local deadlines in addition to those of the NYT, and all staff may have to file multiple versions of stories to meet serial deadlines for different time zones (e.g. Paris for IHT, New York for NYT). Furthermore nytimes.com will eventually draw on IHT content to provide 24-hour coverage.
