Breaking down breaking news

This just might be the best dissection I’ve read on what newsrooms should do with big stories online and in print the next day. Rob Curley, Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive, writes about how the Las Vegas Sun covered the Monte Carlo fire as the mega casino burned. The Sun posted text, photos, videos, a timeline and much more.
We took a similar approach with the recent Boone County tornado. We did a pretty good job, but we’ll use Curley’s post to challenge us to think of more things we can do next time.
