Clarification
There is a difference between the actual gathering of news and listening to scanner reports and rumors.
As a trained, professional journalist I'm truly insulted by the people who think I am the one copying other people's work. If I don't happen to get a story onto this blog at the instant it comes over the scanner, perhaps it's because I'm doing my primary job -- gathering and writing news to broadcast on the radio.

And just remember, The Era's site is stagnant - only updated once a day. You are updating all the time.
2)In any breaking news story, only so many facts are available. I got the same facts as someone else did. Maybe we have the same, or similar, sources. Who knows?
3)Yeah, you struck a nerve. Why? I work my heart out 60 hours a week and then I'm accused of copying. You wouldn't have struck such a nerve if I didn't care so much about doing a good job.
You do a fantastic job with the news,I don't know how you do everything you do but the entire area benefits from your dedication to bringing us the latest news. Your political coverage is by far the best in this corner of the state. I am very grateful to post your stories that that have interest over here in North Central PA and I'm always happy to share my news with you if it is of interest to your readers. I know how hard you work, and the results you produce on your news blog.....and on top of all that, doing the radio thing too. You are GREAT in my book.

I know more than most that alot of research is done by YOU before reporting. You have shed light on subjects that otherwise would have been swept under the table...other news sources have not given all sides...and this should be done-that is what a REAL reporter does. Thank you for your hard work..I appreciate you.
It's ALWAYS better to verify before printing...
and from someone who has dealt with his share of internet criticism, I can tell you... it's not even worth listening to.
Anyone who would question this woman's integrity obviously does not know her. I do know her, and have known her, for more than 20 years.
