Raleigh News & Observer
Of course, some readers complained. The killing of
Paul Berkley just days after his return home from assignment in the Middle East was big news in the Raleigh area. His wife was charged with murder, along with her teenage lover and his friend. "What made the story more juicy is that everyone in the Berkley household kept an online journal, or Web log, of their daily lives," writes ombud
Ted Vaden. "The N&O was able to
tap those blogs to add lush detail to its reporting." (Related
