Hairballs points us to an Editor and Publisher story that indicates that the Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News may be sharing some content in their features sections:
The Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News are in talks to share some feature-section production and design efforts, according to Chronicle Publisher Jack Sweeney — who said the move could include using similar generic stories.
However, he stressed that the changes are in the planning stage and would not dilute local stories from either newspaper. “There would still be local content,” Sweeney told E&P. “It would be more of a layout and production thing.”
The Chronicle and Express-News are both owned by Hearst Newspapers. The potential joint effort comes as both papers are seeing more niche products and feature efforts.
Perhaps MeMo will enlighten us on her diary about these possible changes.
