Newspapers cover shooting blog-style

Posted by Cory Bergman on April 16, 2007

With details about the Virginia Tech shooting coming in fast, Roanoke Times reporters and editors are posting short bursts of information blog-style on Roanoke.com. “We have found this works well,” said Assistant Managing Editor Michael Stowe. “It won’t stop as long as there is stuff coming in. Everyone is working.” Also, NYTimes.com directed readers to its The Lede blog for the latest information.

The blog-style story page on Roanoke.com with frequent updates. The site has also started a guest book in honor of the shooting victims on Legacy.com.

    I’m always torn on blogging breaking news. It adds a feeling of immediacy, but it also feels like I’m getting less information compared to a regularly-updated story. I got that feeling reading Roanoke’s blog in particular. As a sidebar to the regular story, I’d feel better informed.

    The Twin Cities Fox affiliate has sent a reporter to Blacksburg, who has been reporting live during the morning news. Ironically, he was talking about how the police are sitting on the identity of the shooter so they can perform their investigation “unhindered by the media.”

    Would that be a “pot vs. kettle” thing, or a “glass houses” thing?

    I don’t sit in front of a tv all day, I sit in front of a computer. Live blogging this horrific event or the NAB show is a great way to keep up to the minute.

    I don’t know the stats but they would be interesting: number of eyes in front of computers vs tv sets in a given day and the time spent.
