Times to publish online first

The Times is expected this week to post foreign stories from its
correspondents online before they appear in print. The Times will become
the second British newspaper to adopt an 'online first' policy, after
the Guardian said last week it would post stories from its network of
foreign correspondents and business reporters on the internet instead of
holding them for the following day's paper.

The Times' online first policy is to be confined initially to foreign
news from its correspondents but staff expect that within a couple of
years only the biggest stories will be held back for the print edition.

Times correspondents have been briefed that under the new system they
will be expected to file stories with a typical length of 600 words to
the foreign newsdesk. The stories will then be posted on the Times
Online website and editors will then select stories for the following
day's print edition of the newspaper. Currently, the website uses wire
copy to update breaking foreign news stories.
