Who’s winning the race on a local “breaking news” story

Posted on Wednesday, February 28, 2007 by Rex Hammock

My news-reader and e-mail radar just lit up with news about the divorce of Vanderbilt’s chancellor Gordon Gee and his wife, Constance. Just for the record, the student-run InsideVandy.com, broke the story at 10:06 a.m. and (the following link may or may not be behind a pay-wall) NashvillePost.com had a story posted by 10:17 a.m.. As of 12:20 p.m., there is nothing on the front of The Tennessean.

    Is Condi Rice named as a co-respondent?

    I assume you are referring to Ms. Gee’s participation in a student-faculty protest against a speech by Secretary Rice — an address that was hosted by Chancellor Gee.
