FF to about 40 seconds. They knew he didn’t belong in the hood because he was wearing a ‘hoodie’. Sure.

No wonder why the TV stations have to steal stories, they can’t spell.

I heard about this last night, and notified some of my fellow bloggers about it. I was glad to see Jen did her research and posted about it;
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the business model of the print media needed to change in order to survive. Newspapers are losing money. Not a big surprise and I, for one, don’t think they can blame it totally on the digital explosion. Have you looked at the local newspaper lately? The actual pages of news have been reduced to a couple of thin pages. The local news content leaves something to be desired with articles lacking investigative depth while basically regurgitating bland information with no hard line questioning.
This has got me thinking about my own blogging, and my dependence on other media sources (though I don’t make a penny from blogging and volunteer my time as a public service, as most bloggers do). I want to depend more on public information (which I have done 75% of the time) and my South DaCola foot soldiers. What am I saying? I don’t want to depend on the media to send me leads anymore, I want them to be checking my site for leads (well they already do). A good example is this blog post that finally made the newspaper today.
I guess it’s time to pull up the boot straps.
