The Boston Globe is integrating the news gathering operations of its newsroom and its Boston.com Web site, similar to a move by The New York Times, which owns The Globe.

Publisher Richard Gilman said in a letter to employees that the autonomy of 10-year-old Boston.com contributed to its early success.

“Now, we are in a new phase of heightened competition against massive information providers,” Gilman wrote. “We’re experiencing a deeper interdependency between print, online and mobile communications. And we strive daily to satisfy complex audience demands. To flourish in this new environment, we need to have a more integrated approach.”
