Richard Prince from the Maynard Journalism institute called me last night to ask about commercialappeal.com’s coverage of Isaac Hayes death. He quoted me extensively on our breaking news coverage in his blog/column. It’s about half-way down the page.
We owned the breaking coverage of the Soul Man’s death, but everyone in the newsroom and online just followed the breaking news process we had set-up– from sending out breaking news emails, text messages and putting up our breaking news bar on every page to putting together a video package and writing the story from every angle.
Whatever happened to Lannie Byrd?
