Delayed Post: PA Tech Web Coverage

I know I'm late posting this but seeing were just 3 days into a new work week and I've already accumulated 36 hours on the job, I have a good excuse. Blogger David Quinn makes reference on his blog on the breaking news of the closing of Pulaski Tech on Thursday due to a threat. Below is a portion of David's post concerning the breaking of the news on the Little Rock station's websites:
KARK Channel 4 was first with the story at 8:17 AM. It was only 12 minutes later when KLRT Fox 16 broke their story and issued an e-mail alert. One minute after Fox 16, Today’s THV published the breaking news at 8:30 AM. Two feature newspapers then published the stories. Arkansas Business at 8:35 AM and the Arkansas Times at 8:58 AM.

It was not until over 50 minutes after KARK broke that story that KATV published it on their site. At 9:09, KATV issued their first Breaking News alert on their website. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, the state’s newspaper (I use that term losely), followed up with the story at 9:12 AM.
