New media. Two words that can make an editor either shiver or twitter.

Let the debate rage over whether the Internet will devour the newspaper industry. Savvy newspapers will not go gently into that good fight.

Bracken-Thompson also has an extensive background in newspapers, having worked as vice president of marketing for Gannett in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties before joining Thompson & Bender in 1990.
