Well for example I dont know who reports first, and really dont care.Uh, the news business is about money. You think ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox Sports and ESPN are providing their services for free?
Getting information FIRST establishes your credibility, which means people will tune into your station for reliable, credible and quick information. That translates into dollars.
Well, maybe YOU don't follow anyone on twitter but others do. I've been in news stations and many chart the social media progress of their reporters.
Second, many fans don't care if he's cheating. Just as long as he feeds them information first, they're satisfied.
That's capitalism for ya. Shrug.
As long as it is the same day I dont think most people know who is actually first.
I can imagine letterman out on the street asking people if they had heard news about something, then asking but who reported it first?
All of them would say I dont know lol, except maybe you and a few others who actually keep track of this sort of thing.
I just dont see how posting news 30 min before someone else really matters. Unless it is world shaking big news, serious news, like 911 or something.
Football news isnt that important.
