Big Media Getting Small

Often in news reports, it is stated that a certain individual did not immediately return a telephone call from the reporter.

Just now I read a new twist on that.  In the AP article about the arrest of John Popper (What were you thinking, John?), reporter Nicholas K. Geranios wrote:

Popper did not immediately return an e-mail seeking comment Wednesday night.

Heck, I could e-mail Popper and I bet he wouldn’t respond.  Somehow sending an e-mail seems less journalistic than researching someone’s telephone number.  But perhaps this is what lies ahead.

Also blogged on this date . . .
