Times Square incident reported online first
CNN was, according to MediaBistro.com showing a rerun of the "Larry King Live" talk show whilst the bomb story unfolded during prime time. It then picked up the story live starting at 1:00 am Sunday. FOX News showed a breaking-news alert at 11:30 pm and went live with the story at midnight. MSNBC also interrupted programming to show live coverage.
Many of New York's local tv stations also stayed with previously scheduled programming, whilst websites for The New York Times and The Daily News, as well as their Twitter feeds, were quickly feeding the story's evolution to their online audiences.
The New York Times first mentions the incident on its Twitter feed at 6:43 pm Saturday and links to a related article on its website. The timing is less than 15 minutes after a street vendor first noticed smoke spewing from an SUV parked on West 45th Street and reported it to a passing NYPD officer, according to the Associated Press. The Times updated its Twitter feed eight more times and its website five more times through 6:44 am Sunday.
Similarly, The Daily News posted an alert on its Twitter feed and website at 7:52 pm Saturday, about 90 minutes after NYPD was alerted to the smoking SUV. The Twitter feed mentions the bomb scare seven more times between 8:53 pm Saturday and 4:54 am Sunday, with updates to its website in between.
So if you want to hear the news first, then watch online news instead of the slow to react traditional tv.
