It's all the Same, but Different
18 Feb. 2008
I was startled when I logged in to my news reader this morning and saw something like 8 of the same headline staring at me from multiple sources. In spite of news companies' tendency to copy each others' stories, that's actually something of a rarity. So this was obviously "Big News."
At any rate, I'm intrigued by how different each of these articles is. Not surprised, just intrigued. On a lark, I also went to the Houston Chronicle site, just for the sake of comparison. Oh, Houston Chronicle, you never disappoint.
- Kosovo Declares Independence - Al Jazeera
- Kosovo Declares Independence - BBC News
- Kosovo Declares its Independence from Serbia - New York Times
- Bush: 'The Kosovars are Now Independent' - Houston Chronicle (from the Associated Press)
- Independence Day - The Economist
- Kosovo and Serbia: Independence Blogging - Global Voices Online
I'm still processing all of the different articles. I suspect there will be a slew more as the day progresses. It does come at any interesting time for me - just a couple of days after I noticed what might turn out to be an impostor meme in its nascent stages.
The more you look, right?
