hey mathew
its similar in music, the cycle is speeding up and the gatekeepers gone. we are left , for better or worse, to engage our own communities and keep the communications flowing fast and furious.

That's a great way of putting it, David.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Your new model -- “report, write, edit, publish, edit, write, report, publish” -- is the way newsgathering and reporting have worked in my lifetime (57 years). It just hasn't looked like a continuum. For the newspaper world, I would structure your phrase as: "report, write, edit, publish, followup report, write second-day story, edit, publish, followup report, write weekend story, edit, publish" until the story runs out of steam.

That"s a good point, Ray. I guess we're back to the days of morning,
afternoon and evening editions :-)
