Dow Jones’ coverage of the Discovery
Communications hostage drama in 2010 marked a new era of cooperation in one editor's
five-year journey to harmonize breaking news coverage for the Dow Jones Newswires, WSJ.com, and The Wall Street Journal print editions in Washington. It also provides broader lessons for editors and reporters
harassed to satisfy competing demands in the modern newsroom and for academics
trying to prepare students for this chaos
Rob Wells, formerly of The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Business News, and the Associated Press, explains how convergence played a key role during a Washington-area hostage crisis for reporters and editors trying to feed the Dow Jones Newswire, WSJ.com, and The Wall Street Journal's print editions. Wells uses that invaluable field experience to prepare students for the demands of the newsroom.
