You're not going to find stories up there all day, you're just not. These stories have to move and change as we have new content. This is not the [print] newspaper. It has to be more dynamic. You're not going to find your story from this morning's paper still featured on the [business] Web page by 4 p.m. That's the nature of the Web.14

But to many journalists writing these stories, immediacy was not a particularly fulfilling newsroom value. From the perspective of workflow, it meant pushing out content as fast as possible, only to then rewrite the same content for the next day's print paper. To what end, though? All that work went into stories that would quickly be replaced and then forgotten in the six-hour turnover Sussman had mentioned. For Times journalists, ASAP online rhythms meant that a day's—or a month's—hard work could be displaced with a few clicks and a few hours on the home page.
