Now, given, cyclingnews.com is a specialized media outlet in the cycling genre’, but it was several *hours *until CNN picked up the Rasmussen affair on cnn.com and at least an hour for MSNBC to run it.
Also, cyclingnews.com did a great job of adhering to good reporting and quickly added details as they became available including a great photo essay. Even better than Versus’ treatment of the affair.
Impressive.

Much easier to hauk up some html or toss into their CMS system than it is to run a script through the telepromptor (sp?) and get the video editted.
It’s the era of the wikis, blogs and real time internet reporting!
Besides, I’d EXPECT CyclingNews to get the story first. AP needs to go through approvals first.
