Newspaper’s Internet radio station streaming fire coverage

"The San Diego Union-Tribune’s site SignOn San Diego offers a streaming Internet radio station, SignOn Radio. Today they’ve been supplying steady coverage of the fires, including phoned-in live reports from area residents and people following the story from other regions. News staff are manning the radio, taking calls. It seems like they’re doing a pretty good job of applying journalistic judgment to both official information and call-ins." [E-Media Tidbits]

I’m listening to the SignOn Radio stream on iTunes. W is stumbling through a press conference. I think he actually said, "I’m from the federal government and we’re here to help you."

They just broke for AP headlines. I keep looking at the MacBook to remind myself I’m listening to "radio" from a newspaper. Spooky. I remember boasting that only "radio" could really cover this kind of story.
