When news breaks, who ya gonna turn to?

John Keith notes that even though Boston Police were fairly quick to release news of those five shootings in an hour on BPDNews, neither the Globe's nor the Herald's Web sites had anything until at least midnight, when the early Herald press run started and they posted a print story. Channel 4 did have something up by 11 p.m., along with a brief mention of a fatal stabbing on Hyde Park Avenue that BPDNews has yet to acknowledge.

My disclosure: I didn't post anything on Boston Violent Crime until this morning, but my excuse is I've come down with Asian Cat Flu again.
