...those is Monica Guzman, 26, who is fluent in Twitter, Facebook and iPhone and runs the Big Blog on the P-I. She and her colleagues will continue to be based at the same building overlooking Puget Sound, with its iconic globe still spinning on the roof. But as for the shape of the product they'll create, that's constantly morphing. "Part of what I do is the future," Guzman says, referring to her online presence, her immersion in the Seattle buzz and her ability to improve her reporting through public input. But she also acknowledges that what...
...Eric Nalder, a journalist with the P-I who has earned two Pulitzer Prizes for investigative reporting over the past 39 years, agrees that "high-impact journalism" must be, and will be, preserved. "I'm not saying that bloggers don't bring valuable information," he says, "but we can't depend on them alone. We need to be breaking new ground all the time as journalists."

For example, as many as 20,000 of the P-I's 117,000 subscribers already received both papers. Local economists say the Times' own position is dire, pointing to its two-year pension freeze and the laying off of roughly a quarter of its staff in the past year...
...Still, staffers at the Times made sure the city honored their P-I colleagues. Times reporter Hal Bernton stood outside the P-I building at day's end on Monday, holding a bullhorn and propping up several handwritten signs thanking P-I reporters for 146 years of service and declaring, "Journalism Is a Passion that Never Dies." Half an hour later, reporters and local press did gather to share solace. "It's a simple sentiment," Bernton said beforehand. "Let's not end this with us huddled in one corner and them in another." If the Times succumbs to the same...
