Yesterday, Forbes announced that The New York Times was planning to shut down the website of its sister paper, International Herald Tribune. According to Paid Content, the sight will not be shut down. Instead, it will be co-branded as a global edition of The New York Times.
Vivian Schiller, SVP and GM of NYTimes.com told Paid Content that the idea is to have one global brand. According to Schiller, users will be able to choose between a US and a Global edition of the website.
Staff changes are also planned, but the editorial team will remain in Paris while the production will be based in New York, since the two will share a single platform.
