Inside The Newsroom

(I meant to get to this earlier this week, but a series of Microsoft Moments conspired against me.)

But... Now this is exciting. You'd be very hard pressed to find a daily paper that chronicles its semi-daily editorial meetings in a blog like The Spokesman-Review does.

In many ways, most traditional or mainstream publications that blog provide a similar insight into how newsrooms work or, at the very least, an extra level of richness and depth. I'm not sure how someone can be a competent media relations professional in this day and age without visiting these blogs or subscribing to these feeds.

A while back when I was writing the G2Blog, I noted this post by InfoWorld's Scott Tyler Shafer. It was during those days-long blackouts in New York.

I apologize in advance if this post comes to be offensive... but this power outage is not a good thing for me. In the next 48 hours I'm going to be inundated with pitches about disaster recovery and remote mirroring. Please make it stop.

Any representative acting on behalf of an enterprise storage firm who didn't see this post stood a good chance of humilation. Fortunately, Mr. Shafer was merciful. I doubt many had seen this post before it was linked to from several other places.

Thanks to Steve Rubel for the link.
