I understand you CAN use it. I’m just in awe of how much it’s being used in Buffalo. It’s over kill and extremely dangerous. (I’m waiting for a lawsuit to come out of this coverage). Plus, have you monitored the online headlines. The day police searched the Ferry-Grider homes the online headlines for three local new websites changed aggressively with some serious attribution questions. I kept calling my own sources that day to ask what’s going on, and people told me the info is false. I’ve been watching the City Grill Mass Shooting closely while covering it to get a feel for WNY news coverage style. I have to say I really don’t think this area has a handle on multimedia journalism. When in doubt, less is more. Get it right, ALL the time. It is instant data and it can be saved via cache. On the multimedia note, have you considered a post on The Buffalo News “Gangsta Parties” article that has many people crying foul? Could be a hot topic.
