21Q

Daily posts from Bee writers on movies, theater, media, fashion, music and pop culture.


Here's an interesting post by Zach Melchiori, one of the Web gurus at Channel 13. (It's from Zach's personal blog, as opposed to his Channel 13 tech blog.)

Anyway, he talks about a recent incident in which Channel 13 found out about a breaking story at 1 p.m. but didn't post it on its Web site. Rather, it waited until 5 p.m., hoping for a scoop. In the meantime, The Bee posted the story on the Web, beating 13 to the punch.

Melchiori makes some solid points about how, in this 24-hour news cycle, stations risk getting beat on a story by holding them to the TV broadcast.
