A legitimate scoop at Correspondences.org
Peter Shaplen, my colleague at Correspondences.org, seems to have beaten the entire press corps to the story that Jesse Ventura's talk show is being flushed before it ever launches. We're getting calls from a number of papers.
This demonstrates the power of civic journalism. Peter, who is well connected in the media business, gets a story before it reaches the public relations circuit and reports it unspun. With experts in lots of little areas, a site like Correspondences or Slashdot can outgun the most well-funded media companies.
