Quality (taken in the traditional journalistic sense) is so-so because rumors tend to flare without much thoughtful fact-checking; everyone is in the same boat. The economic value is near zero. It can even be nil altogether as some news organizations chose to forgo advertising in the case of tragic events\u200a\u2014\u200aadvertisers don\u2019t like that sort of juxtaposition anyway. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As the news cycle unfolds, things change. At least in theory. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In every large newsroom of the country, reporters on the transportation beat will move heaven and earth to squeeze their sources in the airlines sector, especially at the National Transportation Safety Board in charge of the post-crash investigation. At this stage, the notion of exclusivity sets in: if a reporter gets her hands on a flight-recorder transcript, the story will score high in terms of economic value. In theory. In fact, due to the structure of a traditional website and the way ads are sold, this scoop is unlikely to carry a higher value than yet another third-hand Kim Kardashian robbed in Paris &#8220;report&#8221;.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is why I don\u2019t read any sites that publish breaking news. I had a friend in SF that worked from home and had CNN on from 5AM to midnight. Can you imagine?
