Writers didn’t stop at condemning Ivie for divorcing her first husband, an act that they said violated her marriage vows. They went on (and on), in one sanctimonious posting after another, to paint her as a selfish, promiscuous publicity hound.

“Talk about immoral and sleazy. This woman covers all the bases,” one posting said.

“Nothing like a disability to get in the way of your dating,” another said.

Or how about my personal favorite: “This woman has absolutely no right to any happiness whatsoever.”

These writers have every right to voice their disapproval of Ivie’s actions on the grounds that their view of the marriage covenant is different from hers – and, given the national divorce rate, different from that of most Americans.

But if they’re too cowardly to write under their own names and accept some accountability, then they ought to try to be constructive rather than just cruel. The Post and other media companies open these forums to all comers with little censorship, but that doesn’t relieve the writers of the obligation to exercise some self-restraint.

I'm sorry—maybe McCartney is new to the world of Internet comments, but if one thing is true, it's that very few commenters feel an obligation to do anything but express their opinions. Anonymity helps them go further than they would normally. While we allow anonymous comments at City Desk, we also moderate them based on a few rules. The Post, however, expects to have a civil discourse without any moderation, and that's not how it works in the real world.

A friend who contributes to the Post told me last year that editors have asked regular contributors to start participating in the comment sections of their columns. My friend refused because the comments are essentially going unmoderated and getting in there means becoming a punching bag for really angry people. I'm not sure why the Post expects it can have good discussion without actively moderating. As City Paper alum Ta-Nehisi Coates (known for having one of the most thoughtful comment sections around) told On The Media, "I spend at least as much time in curating and hosting as I do writing." And that's hard to do—especially on a site as large as the Post's—but it's effective. If the Post is going to let its comments section run free, they shouldn't complain that commenters are rude.

Or so said the Post's Robert McCartney on WAMU this morning, discussing who might replace the departing John Catoe: "This is a very prestigious position, general manager of Washington's Metro system. It's the second largest transit system in the country, it's in the nation's capital. So I think a lot of ambitious, you know, 40-something transit officials around the country will be quite interested in the job. It's an opportunity also to turn things around and really make your name, sort of like Michelle Rhee. You know, you could be the Michelle Rhee of Washington transit."

If that's sounding familiar, perhaps because it's because you just read the latest installment in the Washington Post's series on the HIV/AIDS crisis in the District, with a focus on Wards 7 and 8, which make up the east-of-the-river portion of the city. Here's just a portion of the findings:

Much of what was left was awarded to programs that had little lasting impact east of the river, hobbling a well-intentioned effort to drive money into an area that has long lacked a network of established nonprofit groups to help slow the spread of the disease.

The Health Department used the fund to pay for a high-end study instead of services, a neighborhood AIDS office in Ward 7 that closed within months and grants to nonprofit groups tainted by financial and operational problems, records show.

The city's leaders, it appears, are suckers for earnest-sounding nonprofits. Time to start taking a close look at where the money is going. That job, sure, falls to the Fenty people, but it falls just as clearly to the council, which is supposed to be deploying its legislative staff to just the sort of followup that the Post has been doing on HIV/AIDS and that another outlet did on the Barry earmarks.

This oversight record can't help the big-time ambitions of the council's chief.

Saturday, Dec. 5: rainy and then some snow. Sunday, Dec. 13: rain almost all day. That may not mean much to the average D.C. schmo, but it means a lot to all those folks who try to raise some cash via the sale of Christmas trees and related accessories. These have been absolutely critical weekends for such entrepreneurs. Who, after all, is going to buy a tree on the weekend of Dec. 19 and 20? Just sayin'.

Robert McCartney, rooting for a two-individual mayoral race.

Since the suspense is by now killing you, I'll let it fly. It's Washington Post Metro columnist Robert McCartney, the too-often overly evenhanded Robert McCartney. Titled "A Look at the Dan Snyder You Don't Hear So Much About," the piece talks about how Snyder's charity has given boatloads of money to organizations that help children. Here's the columnist's take:

I'm not defending his management of the team, and I realize he shares his wealth partly out of self-interest to improve his image in the community. Nevertheless, a string of people whom I interviewed last week praised Snyder for being sincerely considerate and benevolent and said the toxic reputation he's acquired is incomplete and misleading.

This is a classic case of betcha journalism—as in, I'll betcha you can't write a favorable column about Dan Snyder. And so, you go ahead and try to find something good about him. As a strategy for columnizing, it's a good one. Everyone wants to read the contrarian take, everyone wants to see if you can make the asshole look the part of a genius, and everyone wants to hate on you for even trying.

Yet McCartney should have gone further. He should have focused, say, on London Fletcher, a good free-agent pickup. He should have noted that after the Post exposed the lawsuits against season ticket holders this season, the team moderated its behavior. He should have pushed the argument till it burst at the seams.

Speaking of things Snyder-related, how 'bout that Skins game? After having ended Detroit's losing skid, how glorious would it have been for the Skins to have ended another streak this year, only in a fashion that boosts the team, not deflates it? Well, just like the last couple of Skins games, a great outcome just barely slipped through their hands, or slipped wide of the uprights, as the case may be.

DCist has a little post on a nasty NW fire mid-weekend.

Washington Times posts AP story giving context to the Salahi drama. Dropping in unannounced on the prez was once a time-honored tradition, goes the report: "Americans staked their claim to the White House in muddy boots on fine carpet, picnicked on the grounds, parked their carriages and then their cars outside and tromped inside to look for the man, often finding him. They did not need invitations, engraved or otherwise."

Congratulations to Post Ombo Andy Alexander for staying on the story of the Washington Post and its historically lax corrections practices. In this iteration, Alexander nails the paper for taking forever to print simple corrections. It's all a legacy going back to the Ben Bradlee years and perhaps beyond—a stubborn refusal to admit you're wrong. It lingers. Here's one example cited by AA:

– A photo caption identified an officer as being in the Coast Guard. A reader pointed out that he was in the Navy. A correction ran, but more than 10 weeks later.

The real cause of the anger with Ms. Rhee is her assault on the entrenched special interests that helped make District schools a national disgrace. How else to explain the extraordinary efforts of the American Federation of Teachers to demonize her? How else to interpret the total lack of interest among Ms. Rhee's critics on the council in hearing her examples of some of the bad teachers who were terminated as a result of the reduction in force? Why hasn't the council bothered to conduct a similar inquisition about the 2,500 other city workers who have lost their jobs in the past year?

Funny thing: The Post editorial board is about the only voice in town that can make you feel sorry for poor little Michelle.

The hallmark of a Robert McCartney column is care. Care not to push what the facts can justify. Care not to elbow anyone too hard. Care with grammar, syntax, and clarity. Yet in the lede of his latest column, about Rhee and the council, McCartney appears ready to throw care to the wind: "The future of the District's school system may well be decided by whether Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee's forceful reform campaign becomes mired in a swamp of her own self-defeating hubris."

Oooh, sounds like the columnist is gearing up for a slam! Well, no, turns out just a mild slap on the wrist: "At the hearing, Rhee was poised and even conciliatory at times. She also sounded self-righteous, though, especially in her repeated statements that she acts only in the interest of children. That maddened some council members, who said they, too, care about children first."

The analysis McCartney should be providing is something along the following lines: As she sits before the council, dutifully spouting talking points about conciliation and so on, Rhee is really just acting. It's been reported in these pages that Rhee told an audience that cooperation and consultation are "way overrated."

But when the progress on standardized testing plateaus, or just falters a bit, then Rhee will pay for her ways.

For the best stuff on all things Rhee, go to Loose Lips columnist Mike DeBonis.

Man, those Giants are stinking it up.

Credit the Barras Report for this great little look at a dispute in Ward 3 about out-of-boundary students. Barras is focusing on a movement that's apparently taking root in this well-to-do region, in which parents are urging that Ward 3 schools educate exclusively Ward 3 kids, signaling frustration with the system in which kids from other parts of the city commute in to get educated at these Ward 3 gems. One trouble with the Barras piece: She uses Hardy Middle School as a case in point, yet Hardy is squarely within the boundaries of Ward 2. Sure, it has some Ward 3 "feeder" schools, but still.

Much of the gossip continues to center on the plans of acclaimed Metro columnist Marc Fisher. As reported yesterday, current Assistant Managing Editor for Metro Robert McCartney is sliding into a columnist position, and they'll be hiring yet another one soon. Fisher appears likely to move into another job with the organization, likely as an editor. It's not clear what that position is.

Yet there are many other points of discussion. Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli released the re-org memo to Posties early in the work day and then convened a Town Hall meeting in the afternoon.

Reviews of that session weren't terribly positive. Staffers apparently pelted upper management with questions about exactly how this elaborate new organization would work. The memo, you see, talks about how the paper is creating a "universal desk," to be headed by current top biz editor Sandy Sugawara, that'll shovel all kinds of content from the newsroom onto platforms.

The memo also crowned a new elite tier of editors: Sugawara, Ms. Universal Desk; Kevin Merida, national news commissioner; and Emilio Garcia-Ruiz, local news honcho.

A bunch of other appointments were made as well, filling in editors for sports and business, for example.

Just how all these editors talk to one another is an open question. Another one is how a piece of copy will proceed from conception through filing, editing, and copyediting. Brauchli reportedly conceded that workflow is something that's still going to have to be figured out.

Perhaps the biggest question mark left by the memo relates to the parts of the paper that didn't even get mentioned. Hell, the thing was 1,700 words of detailed, extremely well written blueprints for the new Post. But even at that length, it didn't address news sections such as Style, foreign, and the critical mundo of service journalism, save for a fleeting reference to health coverage. Staffers in those parts of the operation might reasonably wonder if they're even a part of the future.

The official word is that the new structure doesn't affect them too much. Well, if the new structure doesn't affect all those places, how much of a structure is it, really? I know that if a new structure were put in place at my company, I'd want to be invited to the party!

Having noted those pitfalls, the memo came off as a remarkable document, if only because it dares to contemplate an upheaval in an institution wedded to routine and a decades-old management structure. Sure, it'd be great if the bosses knew exactly how a story from the foreign desk will hop around the newsroom before getting posted on washingtonpost.com in the new, "universal" world. And it'd be awesome to know if anyone could ever win a battle with the certain-to-be all-powerful universal desk. With authority over length, copy, and play in the newspaper, that hub is going to be a beast!

But we do know one thing, and that's that the status quo isn't the way to go. If nothing else, this memo articulated a powerful recognition of that point.

However, the most pivotal figure in this whole deal isn't even mentioned in the memo. He's Metro columnist Marc Fisher. Several sources in the newsroom are whispering that something big is up with Fisher.

And that's big news for this puny blog. Fisher, after all, is the consensus Best Local Columnist, as judged by the Washington City Paper's readers, as well as its experts on the all-knowing editorial staff.

More specifically, but not terribly specifically, Fisher is said to be leaving his position as columnist and doing something else with the organization. And that's where this blog's sources dry up like water-based paint. When asked what this fellow might be doing in the re-org'd WaPo, they say stuff like, Oh, I can't go that far. Or, Nope, can't help you there.

When asked if the new assignment was cool, one source said, "Yes."

What about Fisher–can't he shed some light on this development? No—and that's saying something. Here's a guy who either picks up the phone on first ring or returns the message within five minutes. He loves to talk about the Post, about the news, about all kinds of shit. Now that the topic is him, well, he's gone AWOL on this blog. In deference to the columnist, he is reportedly out of town, perhaps in New Jersey. Convenient.

Anyhow, provided that this blog's Post sources haven't steered us wrong, the Metro section's lineup of columnists is starting to clear up a bit. Here's the way it looks, and it's not as frighteningly white and male as it appeared this morning.

*Courtland Milloy. He is on contract, and it will be up to management as to whether to renew him. He is happy to continue on the beat. He is a black man.

*John Kelly. He is writing every day and hasn't been consulted for this story. Sorry 'bout that. He is a white male.

*Robert McCartney. He is moving from Metro's assistant management editor (AME) to Metro columnist. Historically, folks who've made the switch from management to reporter have kept their handsome salaries, which in the case of Post AMEs are north of $175,000. McCartney will be covering all sorts of "metropolitan affairs" in his column. When asked if the move to columnist was his idea, he responded, "I'm very excited about it....I think it's going to be great." He is a white male.

*Columnist to be named. Since December, Metro has had an opening for a columnist. Though it appeared that McCartney might have pulled a Cheney and slipped into that spot, it's not the case. There'll be another hire coming soon. If it's not a woman, I will demand that Marcus Brauchli undergo a sex-change operation.

This morning, however, Brauchli dumped the Mr. Incremental persona in favor of Change Agent, handing down an enormous, nearly 1,700-word memo blowing up the newsroom. No more Balkanized Washington Post, with nine million fiefdoms, all with their own top bosses who tussle and muscle each other over every little thing.

In the new Post world, there'll be three top editors: Kevin Merida, in charge of national stuff; Emilio Garcia-Ruiz, the current sports editor who'll take over local coverage; and Sandy Sugawara, the current business editor who's going to be in charge of a "universal" news desk that'll funnel all kinds of content into print, the Web, and so on.

The rest of the changes kinda flow from that new structure, with massive personnel upheaval, and desks and titles moving around the place like gchats. But one newsroom change towers above all the others for Posties as well as readers.

The memo announces that Assistant Managing Editor for Metro Robert McCartney will leave his current perch to take a job as a Metro columnist. He's run excellent Metro coverage since mid-2005, when he was chosen to succeed Jo-Ann Armao. His people love him, he's had good relations with the Web folks, and he did fabulous things for the long-suffering feature hole in Metro's front page.

So the move to providing content is nothing short of a shocker. In mid-December, McCartney sent out a notice announcing that his desk would be hiring a new columnist. The memo called the move "exciting news," doubtless a reference to the extraordinary act of hiring in these tough media times. Here's what the job announcement said, in part: "We want a columnist who becomes a must-read feature in the paper and on the Web. We want a columnist who can offer a compelling and provocative read twice a week, who is an exceptional reporter, voiced writer and deep thinker. We want a columnist who has a lot to say and really looks forward to saying it."

Who knows—perhaps the boss fashioned a job description so delicious that he just had to have it himself. The Dick Cheney of the Washington Post? Or is McCartney's position separate from the one that the paper declared open in December?

Either way, management seems happy with the move, if the re-org memo is to be believed:

Bob McCartney, who has served the paper so well as AME/Metro for the last four years, will become a Metropolitan columnist, one of our leading voices in the community where Bob grew up and has lived and run coverage for so long. His distinguished career as a foreign correspondent, managing editor of the International Herald Tribune and the first AME of the continuous news desk, and as a business editor and a reporter gives him the kind of depth and wisdom that will infuse his writing with authority and insight.

Unsaid is how long it's been since McCartney scored regular bylines—that would be about 18 years, judging from a quick Nexis search. Correction 4/17: This part is wrong: McCartney picked up regular bylines in 2003, as a correspondent from Paris. I apologize for the mistake. So McCartney can management employees, but can he manage sources again? I'd say yes—he'll get the magic back.

The bigger consideration—and it's a huge one—relates to the lineup of Metro columnists. Here they are: McCartney, Marc Fisher, John Kelly, and Courtland Milloy. The relevant percentages: 75 percent white, 100 percent male.

Now, there is no way this can stand at the Washington Post. Just no way. Not at a paper that over the years has taken great pains to ensure diversity within its reportorial corps. The boys club on the Metro page this morning emerged as one of the top items of gossip in the Post newsroom.

Answers on Metro columnist diversity, though, are tough to come by right now. Sources at the Post appear to be digesting the news and not picking up the phone.

One editor in a position to know, however, says there's "more to come on columnists." The editor did say that McCartney is not moving into the columnist slot announced in December.

This afternoon, there's a "town hall" meeting on the changes at the Post. Turn off that BlackBerry, Brauchli!

Memo after jump.

To the staff:

Today, we are beginning a reorganization to create new reporting groups, streamline editing desks and anticipate the impending integration of our print and digital news operations.

The changes reinforce our longstanding belief in great reporting and writing as the vital center of The Post’s journalism. We want to empower journalists and encourage them to work across departments and platforms. In addition, we want to simplify the handling of words, pages, images and new media, building on the prescient move to “two-touch” editing under Len and Phil. Decisions about space and play must happen faster, both in print and online, and in a way that pulls together our now-separate newsrooms. A single editor ultimately ought to be able to oversee all versions of a story, whether it appears in print, online or on a BlackBerry or iPhone. Space in the newspaper and editing firepower in general should be allocated based on a day’s news priorities, not a predetermined formula.

These changes will alter the way we do things, but t hey will not affect the commitment to journalistic depth, authority and excellence that has defined The Post. Just the reverse: We think these steps will help us to adapt more easily to the economic and technological challenges that face us, while preserving the best of our traditions and values.

Key Personnel Changes:

In keeping with our strategic focus on serving readers in and interested in Washington, we will put most news reporters under two senior editors, a National Editor and a Local Editor. Much first-line editing, copyediting and production will occur on a new Universal News Desk under another senior
editor. Together with the executive editor, the managing editors and the deputy managing editor, these people will form the core leadership of the newsroom.
- Kevin Merida, now Assistant Managing Editor for National News, will become National Editor.
- Emilio Garcia-Ruiz, now Assistant Managing Editor for Sports and Weekend Editor, will become Local Editor.
- Sandy Sugawara, now Assistant Managing Editor for Business, will become Editor of the Universal Desk.

These changes, which become effective May 1, will set in motion other personnel moves.
- Scott Vance, now Assistant Managing Editor for News online, will become News Editor when our print and online desks merge, working closely with the National and Local editors to drive coverage across platforms.
- Bill Hamilton remains Enterprise Editor, working for Liz and helping to guide many major projects into the paper and online.
- Bob McCartney, now Assistant Managing Editor for Metro News, will become a columnist on metropolitan affairs.
- Matt Vita, now Emilio’s deputy, will become Sports Editor.
- Greg Schneider, now Sandy’s deputy, will assume responsibility for Business.

Coverage Groups:

Local, National and Business reporters and editors who “commission” or drive coverage will be organized into coverage groups. Decisions about what we cover and who should handle what story will be made by the leaders of these reporting groups. Each reporting group will be responsible for a
specific area of coverage and be led by an editor and probably at least one deputy, who may also write.

To give you an idea how this will work, we recently posted a job running Science, Health and Environmental coverage. That editor will have primary responsibility for coverage of those areas, across the paper and the website, and will oversee the reporters on those subjects. Most stories
from these coverage groups will be edited on the universal desk throughout the day. The groups will manage blogs and may edit major projects internally. Other groups will be created around subjects such as National Security, Local Business and Development, Social Issues, and so on. We will
announce their formation in coming weeks and post available openings for editors and deputies.

All the news reporting groups will work for Kevin or Emilio. Kevin has run National since January, but already has displayed great talent as a story conceptualizer and the special effectiveness of someone who is both a leader and a role model for many of his reporters. Together with his deputy, Marilyn Thompson, Kevin has been building a highly capable team whose coverage goes beyond the routine and brings real insight.

Emilio, a native of the Washington area, has run sports brilliantly in his second stint here at The Post. His focus on breaking news and exclusives, on strong narratives and the superb work of our columnists and photographers, has made our Sports section the best. He’s also pioneered
print-online integration for The Post this year, bringing together our sports journalists in what has been a very useful and successful experiment. We will place great emphasis on developing strong local journalism, especially online.

Emilio’s exceptionally talented and versatile deputy, Matt Vita, will succeed him as Sports Editor. A former national-security editor and Congressional reporter for The Post and a former foreign correspondent for Cox Newspapers, Matt shares much credit for the Sports department’s recent
successes.

Bob McCartney, who has served the paper so well as AME/Metro for the last four years, will become a Metropolitan columnist, one of our leading voices in the community where Bob grew up and has lived and run coverage for so long. His distinguished career as a foreign correspondent, managing editor of the International Herald Tribune and the first AME of the continuous news desk, and as a business editor and a reporter gives him the kind of depth and wisdom that will infuse his writing with authority and insight.

Universal News Desk:

The Universal Desk will ultimately combine what is now spread across departments and two separate newsrooms, bringing together many people now in the ranks of assigning editors, copy editors and the news desk, as well as many producers at the website. It will handle editing tasks large and small, and make decisions about space allocation and story play, deciding what appears where on the paper’s news pages and online. Most stories will be edited on the universal desk, rather than in reporting groups. Stories edited during the day for use online will form the basis for their print
versions, and vice versa.

We still have a lot of planning and consultation to do before the desk will be up and running. We invite your input and ideas, and expect to be discussing with many people both downtown and in Arlington what the right organization is.

Anyone who has watched Sandy’s incredibly agile oversight of the business and financial staff, especially the way she and Greg led The Post’s super coverage of the economic and financial crisis, will understand immediately why she is the right person to take on the immense task of creating a new, high-octane news engine.

Greg, a smart, seasoned editor with experience on National as well as Business, will take over the business staff from Sandy and become The Post’s main national economics and business editor. Greg has more than learned this field promotion after the often-heroic hours and exacting editing he put into the business staff’s outstanding coverage of the financial and economic crisis. Like Kevin, Emilio and Sandy, Greg will work with us in mapping out the detailed newsroom structure.

The bridge between the coverage groups and the Universal Desk will be Scott, when he becomes News Editor. Among his many roles will be setting intraday deadlines, guiding our homepage and ensuring that The Post is competitive on all platforms, on all stories that matter to our readers. A
veteran of National and the printside before he took on a key news job at washingtonpost.com, Scott has worked with just about everyone here, and to great effect.

Another central figure in the universal desk will be Ju-Don Roberts, Managing Editor of washingtonpost.com, who has steered our digital edition’s continued success and whose print and online experience are vital to re-imagining our editing operations. She’s been a top-class leader and
will remain point person for The Post’s digital edition, working with Raju on innovations and development of the best possible website for our readers.

Future Changes:

While we have outlined major changes here, there are many gaps still in our plan. As you will see, there are unanswered questions about some departments, including Style and the presentation, visuals, interactivity and web tools/innovations groups. Working with the new leadership team, we
will come back to you with more specifics in coming weeks. We plan to move as quickly as possible to announce further details of the structure of the reporting and editing groups. Some new roles will emerge from this process, and we expect to post those jobs as well.

We are, as you know, embarked on a number of big projects. Most notably, we plan to bring in a new content management system—production software, in plain English—and are rethinking aspects of our newspaper’s design. We expect that system will take a year to go live, but our reorganization
anticipates the changes in workflow that will result from a single editing and production system. Design changes in turn will reflect what the new technology and newsroom organization will enable.

We also are on track with plans to meld our print and digital newsrooms over the summer and into the fall. Shirley Carswell, Claudia Townsend, Peter Perl and a small army of others are leading various efforts, and we undoubtedly will have more to say about these plans in coming weeks.

We believe the changes we are undertaking will enhance our competitiveness by focusing our journalistic energy on coverage of core areas and by simplifying editing processes. As we integrate editing and production, print and digital, we will be able to deliver smarter, faster news online, while preserving the writing, depth and range of coverage that define The Post.

Finally, for anyone who gets this far, we have one final tidbit: We’ll hold a town hall meeting at 2 p.m. today in the auditorium to take questions and discuss these plans or any other issues.

The embargo time was a bit unorthodox, to be sure: 6 a.m. today–a time that coincided with the 12 p.m. release of the position paper in Rome.

So just about all of the media outlets on the Vatican's short list kept the story out of their Friday print editions. The Washington Times, however, went ahead with the piece, right on page A1: "Vatican Condemns Cloning, In Vitro." The story by Julia Duin detailed how the church had come out strongly against "common biomedical innovations."

The church saw an outright violation of media doctrine. "I haven’t had anyone pull anything like this in my whole history of working here," says Mary Ann Walsh, director of media relations for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "It's utterly reprehensible." Asked what recourse the organization had with respect to the Washington Times, Walsh responded, "I can’t imagine ever risking giving them anything embargoed," she says.

John Solomon, the Washington Times' top editor, says compliance with the embargo was a huge concern of his staff. The piece didn't debut on washingtontimes.com until 6:01 am, he says. And the staff concluded that if the story ran only in the late edition of the paper, which leaves a Baltimore printing plant at 5 am, its distribution would comply with the embargo. Solomon says the paper should have done more to clarify just what a 6 a.m. embargo means for print copies, and regrets not having taken up that issue with Walsh. "I'm a Catholic myself, so I'll take an extra confession round this week," says Solomon.

Those exchanges between layman and clergy, however, won't help Washington Post print subscribers, the real victims here. The paper, after all, left the story out of all of its editions. Says Metro chief Robert McCartney: "The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops told our reporter that the 6 a.m. embargo meant the story could not appear in morning editions of the newspaper. The conference also told us it said the same thing to The Washington Times. We put the story on our Web site at 6 a.m., in line with the embargo."
