Our team published over 100 updates on Osama bin Laden last night — linked to their sources — which appeared in Twitter-like short form in our apps.

Your conclusion is sad, true and somewhat baffling. That big news will one day break, and that consumers of information are increasingly turning to where that breaking news is both first and best covered, surely shouldn’t be a surprise to any semi-sentient observer. Not to account for this inevitability with a strategy for how to handle breaking news and a suitable infrastructure to contain it verges on incompetence.

In a lot of ways the digitally-delivered news has not been treated with the same respect as radio and television – mediums that have long ago understood and adjusted the value of immediately updated and reliably accessible news. The digital realm has been thought of as being an ancillary location to augment a news organization’s print, TV, radio, magazine or even wire presence. As your piece indicates, there’s still a long way to go in changing this mind set.
