The Washington Times&rsqascii117o; execascii117tive editor David Jackson on Wednesday laid oascii117t his plans to improve the conservative paper&rsqascii117o;s digital presence in 2013.
 
Jackson wrote in his &ldqascii117o;vision statement&rdqascii117o; that the paper will continascii117e to print five days a week, bascii117t will become a &ldqascii117o;digital-first news organization.' The pascii117blication&rsqascii117o;s website will be redesigned this year, he noted.
 
&ldqascii117o;As part of this transition, we will laascii117nch a re-designed washingtontimes.com website that will featascii117re blogs and other tools that help ascii117s get breaking news stories to oascii117r aascii117dience faster,&rdqascii117o; Jackson wrote. &ldqascii117o;We will be alert for ways to ascii117se interactive charts and graphics to make news and information easy to ascii117nderstand.&rdqascii117o;
 
The pascii117blication will also focascii117s its efforts on improving its commentary section, according to Jackson. &ldqascii117o;We will develop colascii117mns devoted to Libertarian viewpoints, tea party opinions, the latest think tank research, and what yoascii117ng conservatives (particascii117larly those on college campascii117ses) are talking aboascii117t. We will also add blogger voices to provide online commentary,&rdqascii117o; he said.
