With a False Start on Paterno's Death, SEO Journalism Fails Again «
“This is not a lone error. It is an inevitable mishap in a media environment that frequently seems to value fast information over accurate information. For news organizations, being first means huge traffic. For consumers, hearing or reading information first means being the first to tweet it or put it on Facebook. Either way, the addiction to immediacy can be damaging in the long run.”
