Abstract
The newspaper industry is undergoing a substantial amount of change because of dwindling profits and diminishing subscribers. Many newspapers are attempting to reinvent themselves by integrating the Internet and new media into their editorial missions. One example of this is Gannett's push to transform its newsrooms into "Information Centers." The author of this creative project works in one such newsroom that underwent the change and has documented the challenges in Web log format.
