Blogging the gunman, and the US Airways incident are major events that deserve to be updated, because the details are still unfolding. Allowing people to participate + gain new information at the same time, gives a sense of community and empowerment. Depends on the nature of the news, as others have highlighted.

If it provides information that can protect the public or aid in the investigation, sure. I don't see any reasons beyond that. I agree with Maria.

In regards to privacy, yes, it is an issue for me if the reporter is clearly identifying the victim somehow. I mean, if my mother first found out on the news that I was a shooting victim, like the victim in yesterday’s shooting, she would have a heart attack on the spot. Live-blogging breaking news works if the focus is on getting the bad guys faster than traditional reporting.

A similar feed on Twitter would have been interesting too - maybe there was one and I missed it? Matt @emailkarma Dave,
