Bob Norman, who writes a blog called The Daily Pulp, reports that Miami Herald staffers are less than pleased about a new 7 a.m. rotation designed to get traffic updates to the paper’s web site.
“The gist of their argument: We’re one of the best-trained and educated newspaper staffs in the country. We can do great dailies, in-depth news and investigative pieces, and features. But web duty is a colossal waste of our time — grunt work that could be done by a part-time clerk,” Norman, a columnist for the Broward-Palm Beach New Times, said.
