Robert Niles has had enough: "[E]-mail's an excellent choice to let readers know about enterprise stories or other exclusives that the news organization is breaking. But... sending a "breaking news alert" hours after everyone from Helsinki to Honolulu has been tweeting the news just embarrasses the news organization. There's no better way to reinforce the message, 'Hi, just to remind you: We're clueless and slow!' Better not to send the e-mail at all." [Via]
