Shouting fire on a crowded Web site
Long discussion at the morning meeting today about ” Man charged with double slaying ,” a story accompanied by yesterday’s video.
The video contains early details of the double homicide before Friday’s arrest, but those details have become outdated as the story and the reporting progressed.
Discussion was on how to clearly label multimedia for time elements - for example when posting archive video with a current story - because posted video tends to convey “NOW” as opposed to earlier details.

Disclaimers for video
Another backstory - There was glass-office discussion about the offensive language in the following video. Rap artist Bobby Brown uses expletives in the interview, specifically the S-word, F-word and N-word. But because it was important to the tone of the interview and the personal background of the interviewee, it was OK’d for publishing with one condition - that it come with a disclaimer.
Editor’s note: This video contains language that may be offensive to some viewers.
