Bob Norman's blog brings our attention, (by "our" meaning news Web site readers and contributors like you and me, anyone in the online information delivery business) about a recent and (un) fortunate assessment for the Miami Herald newspaper by the Columbia Journalism Review about not delivering fresh, (crowd-powered) news. It examples with Chavez calling President Bush a
liar, the headline coming out on a Thursday in the Herald, but the Web
already having the information online on Wednesday afternoon. The decline of the news paper isn't a new concept.

We will continue — in journalism, not academic journals — to need theory to be tested and illuminated by experience, including on-the-street, eyes-open, with-the-victims experience.
