Reporters Don't Read Their Mail
The ever-helpful Tom Murphy points to a survey of 50 newspaper reporters. Among the findings: "26% of those surveyed open less than 50% of press releases they receive via e-mail" and "76% don't believe that blogs provide a useful research tool." The latter fact might incense Dave Winer (happy belated b-day!) and it may make those reporters look like dinosaurs but it makes sense considering the small amount of original reporting in Blogville. After all, who has the time or money for original reporting? Few bloggers. Hell, there are actual newspapers that seemingly run nothing but wire service reports and rewritten press releases. When original reporting does surface, sometimes the amateurs get it wrong (just like professionals do at times). A few blogs reported on an explosion at Harvard that went unreported by Big Media. Did a meth lab explode? Nah, it something less dramatic: a car fire. Maybe you'd put that in the paper. Not me. I suspect a fair number of blogs are great sources for article ideas. But for research? Not just yet.
