How Boston Globe got beat on story about cop’s racist e-mail

True/Slant | Boston Globe | Boston Herald
The Boston Herald scooped the Globe by a few hours on news that a cop used a racial slur in an e-mail sent to his fellow National Guard members and the Globe. Yvonne Abraham of the Globe writes that the officer’s e-mail to her — just one of many ugly e-mails she’s received in recent days — “didn’t even stand out, until yesterday, when news broke that his e-mail to me had gotten him suspended.” || Patti Hartigan: Why did it take so long for the story to hit the press?
