Murder update

All three papers who covered the double homicide in French Valley all had updates when four Marines were arrested.
Let's dissect each one. Oh wait. They all read the same.

Tammy McCoy had a snafu in her lede calling the French Valley home near Temecula. It's more closely located to Murrieta. Also the PE put the news up on their Web site, but it was with an AP story. That to me is kind of shameful.

The Valley News continued their coverage with an Internet update. The story read similar to Ms. McCoy's, which is a plus for the Valley News. How does a weekly keep up with the big papers? Use the internet.

The Cal gets the award for best double homicide story. While nothing was really new in John Hall's story the Cal website had the information up first and Hall actually got quotes from a person. I can see how the Valley News might have trouble getting the ins with these investigators but how come the PE can't reach a live person. So what you want about Mr. Hall but the guy has great sourcing.
