Graham, Braknis have new responsibilities

Larry Graham takes over management of web desk operations to better coordinate The Blade’s digital operations as we move toward the Oct. 1 launch of NewsSlide. The paper’s news websites and NewsSlide need to function in concert for us to be successful with NewsSlide.

Larry will be rolling out new analytics reports for reporters and editors and he will create digital deadlines to respond to peak Web traffic periods. Larry also has been given the task to increase traffic to our websites and keep readers engaged when they visit toledoblade.com.

Greg Braknis will continue to supervise the business desk and will help supervise copy desk operations along with Tony Durham and Jeff Arnett. Greg also will be in charge of producing the Behind the News section in Sunday’s paper.
