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.
