The Washington Post’s new innovations editor Mark Luckie who was hired in August has stirred up the newsroom after he rated ten other websites ahead of the paper’s for election day coverage.

There is some grumbling in WaPo‘s newsroom over the new innovations editor Mark Luckie (he replaced Paul Volpe who went to TBD). Luckie’s a well-known new media thinker, but this is his first big move into the real world of doing new media at a big paper.

Apparently in the middle of the day on Election Day (which should be go-time at the Post), Luckie took time to post his favorite news site election day front pages on his own old “10,000 words” blog to which he still contributes. And WaPo didn’t make his own cut.

Humility? Or just humiliated?

Find out what sites Luckie chose here.

It’s pretty rare to see a top eleven list so I get the feeling that he expanded his top 10 just so he could include the Post even if he felt the site wasn’t really one of the best.

For Luckie his evaluation is either a rare bit of honesty from a Post employee or sheer stupidity for placing his employer at the bottom of his list.

Well at least we know that Luckie isn’t biased towards the Post.
