Covering breaking news as it happens is a real relay race to be first.
With a weekly paper you have time to put a story together, explore every angle, consider different presentations and get reactions from people invloved.But with the internet it's all about being first with the facts. To do this you need a smooth relay between reporter, photographer and news desk, and this week, I'm proud to say, we have pulled it off with aplomb.
Firstly there was a big case of a prolific robber at Harrow Crown Court on Thursday which our reporter David Baker was sent to cover.
On arriving at court a journalist from a rival organ was also present, and the scene was set for a race to get the verdict up in the public domain first. Following the sentencing from the judge David did a sterling effort in quickly ringing in the story for me to post on our site. I shan't say who got it up first between us and our rivals because there's nothing worse than being a bad winner.
Similarly our chief reporer Ian Proctor met Dave 'Hug a hoodie' Cameron at Harrow Civic Centre today, accompanied by photographer Stuart Emmerson. Within an hour of his arrival we had both pictures and a taster of our exclusive interview on the website.
It's quite a thrill getting news from source to you, dear reader, in such a short time, and something which almost every journalist enjoys. The challenge is to make sure stories are accurate, interesting and informative, so that nothing is compromised.
As our website grows in size and popularity the race will never truly end, but I'm hoping we're going to keep picking up gold medals along the way.
