Gene Weingarten column mentions Lady Gaga.

This Sunday's Gene Weingarten column provides a humorous take on American journalism in the digital age. He comments on the specialization of job duties ("multiplatform idea triage specialist"), round-the-clock deadlines, reader comments, and the evolution of the editorial process -- including the trend to manipulate print story headlines for online search engine optimization. It's a fun read, in light of our discussions about search.

I read this too and it made me laugh - he is a funny guy and I love how he ended with a mention of Lady Gaga to help his search!
