Journalism has always been about breaking a story first. The only difference between today and 50 years ago is the tools we have to tell a story faster.
NUance, there are plenty of stories out there we don't hear about. I had one Nebraska journalist tell me they purposefully kept the Carl Pelini story on the downlow to avoid unnecessary attention to the program. If people 50 years ago had our technology, they would have become just as vitriol.
