UK: about the breaking news process at the Telegraph
Posted by Jean Yves Chainon on March 6, 2008 at 11:47 AM
Journalism blogger Andy Dickinson reported from the DNA conference on Telegraph Media Group digital editor Ed Roussel, who outlined a timeline for the news process.
Here's the typical approach for a breaking news story:
- 11:15 Alerts sms email desktop
- 11:25 150 words, solicit reader help
- 12:15 Updated story, images video
- 13:15 Analysis, topic page
- 15:15 Multiple angles - multimedia analysis etc.
Sounds like the Telegraph is etching towards Paul Bradshaw's news diamond, which aims to rethink the news process in terms of the Web's two main attributes, depth and speed.
However, Roussel also tried to debunk the commonly accepted vision of the newspaper websites being the place for breaking news and the print editions being more analytical.
According to Dickinson, Roussel said that "strategy for your website was to be about the first and the last word on a story."
