Thoughts on editing for print and online media

Where the news is

Here’s an interesting paragraph from the CNN.com story on the frightening news from Virginia Tech:

Madison Van Duyne said she and her classmates in a media writing class were on “lockdown” in their classrooms. They were huddled in the middle of the classroom, writing stories about the shootings and posting them online.

UPDATE: The Huffington Post recaps some of the new ways this story is being reported as it unfolds.
