<\/p>\n

On most days, the Spacing<\/em> Wire<\/em> tracks what is going on in the public realm of this city, linking to articles and columns in the major daily papers, the weeklies and on blogs. On the odd occasion, we do our own reporting. So it is nice to see when the new media (us) gets a story first and the old media (them) follows up on it. It happened when we helped publicize the motorist vs. courier altercation<\/a> in Kensington a few months ago, and it happened again last week when we reported on the removal of the sidewalk carvings<\/a> on King Street West outside the St. Andrew’s Church (the Post, Star, Eye<\/em> Weekly<\/em>, and NOW<\/em> all ran features). Today in the Star<\/em> they had two pieces that we were the first (or one of the first) to get out: the debate<\/a> over “Beach” or “Beaches” (which Josh Hume wrote about for us<\/a> on Monday’s Wire post) and columnist Joe Fiorito chats with Tattoo<\/a>, the former homeless artist who did the above mentioned sidewalk carving.<\/p>\n

While it is nice to be breaking news, what we at Spacing<\/em> find more important is that these news items are being spread to a large audience which hopefully prompts a discussion about the details of this city. As a blog, we have the advantage of immediacy, while the Star<\/em> et al have the massive audience. In these cases, new and old media are more than just competing, they are complements of one another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
