TV reporter blogs live from courtroom
August 27, 2003 · · 5 Comments
Here’s a great use of blogging to cover an ongoing news story: KFOR.com (in Oklahoma City) KFOR television reporter Sarah Stewart has been blogging a high-profile murder trial for KFOR.com. KFOR Internet content editor Michael Gunstanson tells Steve Outing that Stewart has been spending days in the courtroom with a laptop and cell-phone connection to the Internet — sending in reports at least once an hour.

Got something to say?
While this is an interesting story, and fine reporting by Sarah, I fail to see what this has to do with blogging. It’s a Web site for the tv station, and this looks just like basic content on a Web site. It could be a reporter’s diary posts, with hourly mini-headlines on the page. Is it the style of writing –present tense?– that makes this “blogging”? I just don’t think this is a blogging coverage of an ongoing story as much as it is a Web site posting daily or regularly (even hourly) stories. I don’t see any links to other content or sources, for example. Just a narrative in time. Is that blogging or reporting?

I hope this information could be useful,and if anyone could help shed light I would be greatful .
I’am a victim of psychiatric abuse its a crime, and in hospital I have witnessed the twisted mentality of mental health professionals such as abuse like punishing me with force drugging of antipsychotics , chemical restraints ,isolation for days at a time with in appropriate meals, and nursing staff threating me with anything they thought of and it just depends on how mad you got the staff that day. I never did anything out of control or did I get violent,yet I was just standing up for patients rights and making my argued opinions in result I would get tortured with over dosing of forced antipsychotic drugs. I have even witnessed nursing staff murder a co-patient and it was sickening,frustrating and very sad part of my life. I also have a young friend who got an E.C.T done and it has completly fried his memory. after the reinforcement of drugs I have had tremors symtoms of N.M.S head pains, heart cardiac pains,weight gain ,dizzyness and sleepiness all caused by side affects of antipsychotic drugs. I suffer each day with the symptoms and I don’t think I will live that long on psychiatric medication its deadly look at the statistics if anyone can help me with this prosectution I would appreciate all the help I can get please I can name a few people who were responsible for the murders of some people:

When school authorities tell a mother that her son is sick and needs to be on drugs ,how in the world is she to know that ,that is simply a lie . How is she to recognize that what experts now call “SCHIZOPHRENIA” is simply not a disease now,such a mother is not an expert in the history of psychiatry,she does not know that psychiatrist have for hundreds of years used diagnostic terms,so called diagnostic terms,to stigmatize and control people I will only give you a few aromatic examples when BLACK SLAVES in the south ran away to freedom, it wasn’t that they wanted to be free they suffered from a disease called dropetomania from drapetes run away slave,and mania I’AM NOT MAKING THIS UP ! . This was a a legitmate diagnosis just like SCHIZOPHRENIA woman half the population of mankind,of course, if they were foolish enough to rebel against domination by man well then they had a serious disease called HYSTERIA , which was due to their wandering womb.now none of those behaviors was ever a disease and, of course, is not a disease nor is SCHIZOPHRENIA disorder a desease no behavior or misbehavior is a disease or can be a disease. that’s not what diseases are so it doesn’t matter how child behaves . there is nothing to examine . if he is sick then there must be some objective science to it . which can be diagnosed by physicians and objective test . that’s why as soon as you go to a doctor they take a lot of blood and take x-rays. they don’t want to hear how you behave. when I went to medical school sixty years ago there were only a handful of mental diseases . I think there were no more than six or seven . now there are more than three hundred .And now ones are quote,” discovered”every day . labeling a child as mentally ill is stigmatization,not diagnosis. giving a child a psychiatric drug is poisoning ,not treatment .Diseases are malfunction of the human body ,of the heart , the liver the kidney,the heart, the liver the kidney,the brain and so forth . typhoid fever is a disease, you all know that , you don’t question that spring fever all you have to know is English . Spring fever is not a disease. the task we get ourselves, to combat psychiatric coercison is important. I think it’s important you all think it’s important not enough people think it’s important , it’s a noble task, a task in the pursuit of which we must , regardless of obstacles, persevere, our conscience commands that we do no less.
