Douglas: Let me start by talking about the foreign new piece and I’ll let Raju talk about the bigger one. But first, I no longer think of myself as a print journalist, or at least I try to tell myself everyday I’m not just a print journalist. We at the Washington Post are producing journalism for all kinds of platforms whether it’s the print product that most of us grew up on or various digital platforms; whether the web or your mobile phone or the [Kindle] or the iPad. And so while we still hear in our newsroom my colleagues talk about the web people and I tell them we are all web people. But on the analysis you raise an important point in some ways by framing our work around this [board] about Washington Mission we are specializing in that sense, we’re providing that filter that says of all these stories we could be writing what is it that‘s most important. And certainly in foreign news we have and elsewhere Raju can talk about it, we have put some what less of a premium on the routine daily breaking news that has become in some ways a commodity, that others are doing in order to focus limited resources on a place where we can add more value. And so often as foreign editor I’m inclined to tell a reporter it’s okay, we would let readers understand about this development by using a copy from the wire services by using the Financial Times giving them a paragraph in out digest in the paper that lets them know this happened, by giving them a full account and asking them to spend their time not writing a project that could deliver four months from now because that’s another excess we don’t want to do, but delivering a piece tomorrow or the next day that really puts the news in the context that even anticipates the news and lets readers understand where we think things are going. Raju.

Raju: So about two years ago had you walked into the Post news room and said are you a print person or your on line person about 600 people would have told we’re mostly print, our stuff shows up on line about 90 people would have told you that we are online. The last two years we have completely merged put new room which one was in Virginia and one was on in downtown DC where it’s become a fully integrated news room. And I tell a lot of students or units of my staff that if they think of themselves as print journalist they probably have somewhat limited shelf life but if they think of themselves as provides of great, content both analysis breaking news and opinion and provide that content where the audiences want them then they have pretty bright futures.

So in some ways it’s become more and more a artificial to think of print and online separately. As the web has expanded and as in fact as 24 hour cable new stations television stations really grow, the role of print and breaking news has been on the decline for a long time, you no longer really kind of rely on media to break news tomorrow morning in a paper that you to bed like six or eight hours ago. So it has moved much more dramatically towards kind of providing almost, initially it was second day story and now it’s almost like a third day story because all day you get the news in multiple ways and when you come to the paper you want to be able to kind of not just know what happened briefly buy where it’s what does it mean and where it’s going to go tomorrow. I think that’s it’s still was work in progress, we still occasionally have a story that you’ll feel like you’ve read it or you’ve heard about it or seen it like eight hours ago, but the challenges is to kind of make people feel like the newspaper added more value either in making them think about an issue or connect the dots or find new approaches to the same story that they may have had or read several hours before. So I think it’s a matter it’s been evolving and the technology I rapidly kind of accelerating that process.

Ali: I’m also curious about the new generation of journalist and their, responses to these new developments in journalism field my particular questions is at Washington Post, do you feel that you’re getting enough interest from new generation who would like to be journalist, and did you see any decline in the level of people who want to be journalist and reporters?
