Brauchli said that the coverage for this section will require more collaboration between the online and print editions. Brauchli said that by combining the "reportorial, multimedia, design and editing skills of both newsrooms, to produce a lively and comprehensive array of news, analysis, blogs, video, interactive features, live discussions, games, advice and aggregation from other web sites."
