So what if the judge says no live video from the sniper trial going on outside of Washington, DC. Kerry Sipe is blogging it live to the readers of the Virginian-Pilot. Granted, it’s not as good as seeing the proceedings as they occur, but it’s not a bad alternative. The article linked from the title does a pretty good job of explaining how newspapers are starting to find their way with Web logs. I’m not sure it’s the best for the hard news reporting, but for the in depth analysis of an event, I’m starting to wonder if it might not be a powerful way to cover a wide range of stories. More to think about for my journalism kids.
