Thought you all might like to know the SunSentinel updated the online version of the homeless beating story at 6:15 p.m. Court reporter Tonya Alanez wrote through the article, adding reaction from the victims' families and details about the defendants' upcoming sentencing.
As a student of online journalism, I must question why it took five hours between updates.
But as someone who knows the struggles of a daily deadline --trying to make phone calls to a gazillion sources, updating an online version while writing a print version with a very different tone and feel, as well as a possible sidebars --I totally understand. For the sake of disclosure, I happen to be a newspaperwoman.
Sigh. There goes that struggle again between theory and practice.
