Every so many hours someone will start making calls to dispatch to see if there's anything that they're working on at the moment.


At least that involves the reporter seeking out information to report on.

A facebook post isn't considered to be "directly to the public". Just because you get your news from facebook doesn't mean everyone else does.

I would venture the vast, vast majority of those people who check a newspaper website for "breaking news" are also receiving news on Facebook and other social media means.

It gets hot in the city in May but for one hardboiled detective in St. Bernard, the heat reached the boiling point as fate intertwined itself between him and one poor sap who found himself on the wrong end of a slug at half past eight in the evening.

One Sheriff James Pohlmann could only shake his head and ruefully think to himself that Shangri-La wasn't all it was cracked up to be.


I would buy a subscription to this paper.

Media outlets do it all the time. They will take a press release and pass it off as their own work.
