Scooped by a Source
Asides
Scooped by a Source. “‘I think you’re assuming that there is any value left in the scoop,’ wrote Jeff Jarvis, blogger and citizen journalism advocate, in an email. ‘There isn’t. You can’t control the biorhythms of news anymore. The world doesn’t much care who reported what first. Bylines matter to writers, not readers.’”
If only what Jeff said were true. A scoop is huge! A story is most alive when it is fresh — when it is news!
I wish we were wiser and reflected and labored more on building knowledge instead of sound bites.
