Well, maybe not quite live... but we are included in the picture with
Chris Nuttall's article 'Newsgathering on the Net' which can be found at

Newsgathering on the Net.
By Internet Correspondent Chris Nuttall
As a foreign correspondent, I was always inspired by the quote that people
like us were "writing the first draft of history." Now I am an Internet
correspondent, I have been deservedly humbled by the realisation that even
the most crafted online pieces really only amount to the first draft of a
story.
Several examples in the past week show that while the Internet can be the
source of unfounded rumours and ill-researched stories, it can also repair
any such damage, in the end creating something more solid and substantial
than is possible in any other medium.
