[21:05:31] jimnduncan: q1. Is their monetary incentive in getting the rumor out there first, even with disclaimers and later factual followup? #editorchat

[21:06:39] deegospel: @LydiaBreakfast q1: it didn’t seem as if some responders had read the article, which is important for a deeper discussion #editorchat
[21:06:50] anndouglas: RT @specialdee Q1 Online version has breaking news but sometimes that is simply a headline with one or two sentences. #editorchat
[21:07:04] marciamarcia: It’s taken me a while to accept expectations of real-time pub are different. Typos to questionable facts. #editorchat

[21:08:27] rondoylewrites: @LydiaBreakfast @jimduncan Absolutely there’s a $ incentive—why else would a reporter put their reputation on the line? #editorchat
[21:08:33] SuburbNews: Due to fewer bodies, eyes to edit stories before faster postings, our newsroom is having sessions w/lawyer on defamation, etc. #editorchat
