BNO News: BNO News beats New York 911 call

  • PP · 1 year ago
    "And although the initial reports indicated a major incident with many injuries, it turned out to be (much) less important. When we last checked, there were only 10 people with minor injuries."

    This sounds much like the unofficial (read piss-take) slogan of the UK's Sky News channel: "Sky News: Never wrong for long."

    It's one thing being first, but readers will always rate accurate, measured and timely journalism.

    Pretty impressive.

    Please call 911 first before letting BreakingNewsOn know about something like this, so that emergencies can be handled quickly.

    Hi, thank you (nertzy and PP) for your comments. I wanted to personally respond to you both (I wrote the blog post).

    First, PP, I understand what you mean. BNO News is about breaking news and we do aim to bring the news and its details as soon as possible, that is: if we have a source we consider credible enough, from there we gather more information ourselves and monitor reporting from other news services to see what their sources tell them. So we can provide both our own newsgathering as well as letting people know what the rest is saying about it.

    Nertzy: We first called emergency services because our initial source was not considered credible enough to run it on our news service, we wanted to get some official confirmation first. When we confirmed the accident, we ran it. We didn't post it on Twitter when we received the initial word from our source.

    I think Nertzy's point wasn't calling the emergency services for confirmation - it was rather that alerting the authorities to make sure the victims get help is more important than getting the story out there.
