I have been in the newspaper newsroom since an hour ago, but we are just finding out about this now since nobody was checking the wires since we have the stuff we need for today (we are an afternoon paper).

My word. I hope there are not too many deaths.

This is interesting. There are no TV monitors or radios in your newsroom/newsbuilding? What time zone are you in? I think you may have unveiled (unwittingly?) one of the reasons why papers can seem so rooted in their biases.

Just another reason why newspaper readership is down. One would think that a news organization would have someone watching the wires 24/7.
