Transcript of #editorchat 6/10
[21:00:54] anndouglas: I think we owe it to our readers to cite our sources and to educate them about source credibility issues. #editorchat
[21:00:58] milehighfool: @shortformernie Agreed. But I also think this to Ann’s point — staging matters, as does disclosure. #editorchat
[21:00:59] debmarkham: @jimnduncan Q1 #editorchat The incentive is the same as it always has been… to beat the compeition. To get eyeballs on your product first.
[21:01:09] RGBinDFW: I agree @merylkevans. getting 2nd or more sources on facts better for everyone. Bad reporting affects all on team. #editorchat
[21:01:15] SuburbNews: I’ll be lurking, sorry, have laptop on the bathroom counter while giving kids their baths #editorchat
[21:01:18] milehighfool: RT @merylkevans: @cutestkidever Luckily, I learned early on just how easy facts from online are wrong and took that to heart. #editorchat
[21:01:34] deegospel: @milehighfool I think we all need to read TechCrunch’s article before we respond. They were transparent about the rumor. #editorchat
[21:01:59] bacigalupe: @anndouglas the problem with rolling stages is that many of the stages may be false and thus it involves counterstages #editorchat
[21:02:02] KarenLynch: I’m not sure ALL editors/publications fact check, either #editorchat
[21:02:29] SpecialDee: Q1 Online version has breaking news but sometimes that is simply a headline with one or two sentences. #editorchat
[21:02:40] milehighfool: RT @merylkevans: I rather be accurate and late (Agree, with a caveat — you can report the facts as they come in.) #editorchat
[21:02:57] anndouglas: @milehighfool Very true. #editorchat
[21:02:58] cutestkidever: @merylkevans Yeah, I wrote about that on my blog when I found faulty info in my research. http://kl.am/checkyoursources #editorchat
[21:03:05] LydiaBreakfast: @deegospel I agree TechCrunch was transparent. But the debate went beyond that I think. NYT was calling them out regardless. #editorchat
[21:03:08] milehighfool: @deegospel Fair point. Shall I post a link for all? #editorchat
[21:03:12] debmarkham: @shortformernie But ut how many times will Snoop hide a dead body in his cellar before I don’t care to find out if it’s true? Q1 #editorchat
[21:03:18] krystyl: RT @merylkevans: I rather be accurate and late than first and wrong. #editorchat
[21:03:28] RGBinDFW: @debmarkham Q1 competition can erode journalistic ethics. It’s sad. #editorchat
[21:03:34] rondoylewrites: When only a handful of news sources were available, those sources vied for the best story. Now they fight for your attention. #editorchat
[21:03:36] thisdog: @SpecialDee Q1 sometimes you don’t want to stage out the story. Poker players don’t show all cards at all times. 
exclusive? #editorchat
[21:03:51] deannatroupe: @milehighfool Yes, please. That would be a big help. #editorchat
[21:03:57] BillHarper: Maybe they should prefix it with something like “Developing story”. Online publishing creates more pressure get story out first #editorchat
[21:03:59] milehighfool: @RGBinDFW Hasn’t it been this way for, well, ever? #editorchat
[21:04:07] cutestkidever: @milehighfool Yes please! #editorchat
[21:04:18] rondoylewrites: For better or worse, whoever gets the story first turns heads and has a chance to reauthor the story as they go along. #editorchat
[21:04:28] RGBinDFW: LOVE THIS. TV news can be so like this. RT @merylkevans: I rather be accurate and late than first and wrong. #editorchat
[21:04:33] deannatroupe: @SuburbNews Now that’s dedication. #editorchat
