TV Reporter Blogs Live From Courtroom
Posted by Steve Outing at 12:00 PM on Aug. 27, 2003
At KFOR.com in Oklahoma City, website for the NBC affiliate KFOR, television reporter Sarah Stewart spent yesterday and is spending today blogging the high-profile murder trial of Jim Pavatt, who stands accused of killing a local advertising executive. According to KFOR Internet content editor Michael Gunstanson, Stewart is spending the day in the courtroom with a laptop and cell-phone connection to the Internet -- sending in reports once an hour, and more frequently if need be. It's great to see a TV news operation take this approach to covering a major trial. Bravo. (KFOR isn't calling this a "blog," but that's basically what it is.)
