Deadbolt, which operates out of Vancouver, did something really awesome the other day. They asked us about the quote we got from Summit about the Stephenie Meyer lawsuit being fake. They didn’t just take our word for it. Deadbolt has an article up on what they’ve seen as a shift in media responsibility in the ten or so years that they have been on the Internet.
“Between five and ten years ago, rumors were handled much differently prior to the blogging explosion. It was an unspoken rule that without confirmation, you’d be tarred and feathered and mocked over a lack of credibility by reporting rumor as fact … or near close to fact, as near certainty. Confirmation, or near confirmation was key. Today there’s an “okay, let’s move on” mentality since there are simply too many outlets, too many people writing the same stories, and too many writers with wide gaps in experience all playing in the same pool.”

This is so true - there are so many people who are just spewing information and it makes me soooo angry!!!! This is more so lately with local news and radio saying things that are not true and causing chaos by announcing locations for sets on the radio leading to hundreds of crazed fans post-poning or altering filming schedules!!! BOOOO!!!
