Cape Cod TODAY and WBUR

WBUR pays a visit to our bloggers

wburbloggers_600
  This was the scene in the Blogfather's playpen at eCape.com last week when WBUR's Radio Boston paid a visit. From the left: Jeff Blanchard, Meghna Chakrabarti, Peter Robbin's pate, Peter "Wavemaker" Morin gesturing. Next photo: Robbins again, Julie Brooks and Andy Buckley.

 Last week Meghna Chakrabarti of WBUR's new hour long news show Radio Boston  came to Cape Cod to discover what's happening in the media. She discovered the bloggers at cc2day, and she says she was blown away. You can decide after reading and hearing the Meghna Chakrabarti broadcast.

It’s not exactly news that circulation and staff are down at Massachusetts newspapers. The Boston Globe has made its fourth buyout offer to employees since 2001. Circulation is down again at the Boston Herald. Will there be breaking news that nobody knows about? Where do you go to get your news and information?

Plus, in our web specials: Meet the Blogfather…. and, some of the best media criticism out there at MediaNation.

The BlogFather

by Meghna Chakrabarti

They think they’ve retired. But he keeps pulling them back in. Back in to ferret out stories. To attend council meetings. To poke and prod local politicians. To post, always posting, on his website, Cape Cod Today.

wburmorin_244
Peter Morin, AKA Wavemaker, makes a point to Meghna Chakrabarti.He is known as the Blogfather of Cape Cod, Walter Brooks. Since 2003, Brooks has recruited 150 Cape bloggers to cover Cape news from tip to toe. All but five of the bloggers write for free. Most of them turn out opinion pieces. But most of them are also retirees, or are still working in their current professions. Their backgrounds are varied: ex-politicians, ex-policemen, ex-teachers, current teachers, current harbormasters, current artists. Not a pimple-faced pajama wearing basement blogger among them.

Brooks admits many of the blogs on Cape Cod Today are hit or miss. Many of them are nothing more than a daily rant. Nevertheless, he believes they are changing the way news is covered on the Cape, and that they’re breaking news.

Sometimes they do. Witness the cascade of events that led to the 2007 resignation of Mashpee-Wampanaug chairman Glenn Marshall. Cape Cod Today blogger Peter Kenney first broke the story about inconsistencies in Marshall’s war record on August 20, 2007. The Cape Cod Times followed on August 24th, the Herald on August 25th. The Globe on August 26th (according to their online archives). [There’s more about Kenney here and here and here.]

The result? Marshall resigned as chairman. All because a blogger raised an inconvenient question.

Here's the full transcript; 

David Boeri: This is Radio Boston. I'm David Boeri. You're listening to us for free as well. We're talking about newspapers this hour. What's it come to when free papers are now looking for buyers. Call us at 1-800-423-8255. That's 1-800-423-TALK. Or send us an email at radioboston@wbur.org. 

As newspapers fade the internet has become the main source of news for many people. Bloggers are creating virtual newsrooms around the country. Radio Boston's Meghna Chakrabarti went to Cape Cod to check out the operation, Cape Cod Today. Welcome, Meghna.

Chakrabarti: Hi there, David.

Boeri: I understand this website is getting a lot of attention, and may become a model for other local news/website/blogs around the country.

Chakrabarti: Yes, and slash local opinion, too. But, that's because Cape Cod Today bloggers, most notably one named Peter Kenney have broken some pretty big state stories, particularly about the Mashpee-Wampanoag Indian tribe, which, as you know, wants to build a casino in southeastern Massachusetts.

Boeri: So, let's take a look at the Cape Cod Times, the main street paper. Are they paying attention.

Chakrabarti: Well, yes. But, what the paper says is that it is the trusted media source on the Cape. But Cape Cod Today, the website, from these bloggers, is gaining advertisers, revenue and staff. So, it's an interesting mix of old journalism and new technology. And, ironically, on the day that I visited, the bloggers were working on a local story and scanning Youtube for a historic speech.

-- Begin tape --

[Blanchard/Brooks: "Scroll down, scroll down will ya? Click on Jackie O'... Click on??"]

[SFX: MORE ENERGETIC JFK YOUTUBE SOUND]

CHAKRABARTI: Cape Cod Today is not a newspaper. It's a website where 150 bloggers from Hyannis to Provincetown post stories about the Cape.

[POST SFX - Brooks: "There's Jackie, and one of his sisters. Who's that? Does anyone know?"]

CHAKRABARTI: At the Cape Cod Today office in Dennis, four bloggers are glued to a YouTube video of John F. Kennedy's first speech as president elect. It was 1960 at an armory in Hyannis. 

[SFX: John F. Kennedy Speech: "Ladies and gentlemen, I've received the following wire from Vice President Nixon..."]

TRK: Linked to the video is a post from blogger Jeff Blanchard. He reported that Hyannis officials plan to tear down the historic armory. It's the kind of local story Cape Cod Today founder Walter Brooks says he doesn't see much of in the region's major daily paper - the Cape Cod Times. Brooks is also critical of the paper's editorial page, which is opposed to Cape Wind, the proposed wind farm off Nantucket Sound. Brooks believes in Cape Wind. But not because of what he's read in the paper.

[BROOKS: "Well, I meant they were writing, uh, to date about a 100 editorials against the project."
CHAKRABARTI - "So, it wasn't the reporting that was the problem -"
BROOKS - "The reporting was clearly slanted. It wasn't something that was not hard to miss."]

TRK: Cape Cod Times editor Paul Pronovost, says the paper stands behind its reporting and its ability to express various opinions on its editorial pages. He also says the Cape Cod Times has a paid staff that covers the region well, and has the trust of its readers. 

Even though only five of Brook's 150 Cape Bloggers are paid, most of them have professional backgrounds. Brooks himself worked at the New York Post. There are former selectmen, an ex-homicide detective, a harbormaster, and a contemporary artist. The bloggers he's recruited have time on their hands and can work for free.

[BROOKS: "So these guys, these dinosaurs [laughs], cybersaurs, we'll call them, [laughs] they bring this institutional history that's missing from the old media."]

CHAKRABARTI: In other words, the soldiers in the Cape's new media revolution are... how should I put this... gentlemen of a certain age. 

[MORIN: "I think that's the most arrogant, condescending description."
Brooks - "What's that?"
MORIN - "The perception, I think, deliberately generated by so-called legitimate journalists, that bloggers are, they're blogging in their pajamas and slippers in the basement of their mother's house."]

CHAKRABARTI: And Peter Morin says, their stories prove they are legitimate. Last year, their blogger broke the story that led to the resignation of Mashpee-Wompanaug chairman Glenn Marshall. They've also picked up leads on stolen artwork, even uncovered alleged town corruption, says Cape Cod today president and Walter's daughter-in-law, Julie Brooks.

[J.BROOKS: "And I think what's so fun about it is that we can take public officials to task and make people accountable for what they're doing, because people are going to know about it. They can't just say 'oh, it's a blog.' The reader doesn't know that, the reader just knows it's a juicy story that they want to read."]

CHAKRABARTI:  The blogs had had over two million page views last month. But that's just a third of the six million pageviews the Cape Cod Times online had in the same period. But, for every factual news story they break, the blogs also post flat-out opinion pieces and unsubstantiated stories. Blogger, and former reporter, Jeff Blanchard says that's reality in the new news business.

[BLANCHARD: "Well, for good and bad, I don't have an editor now. You know, everybody needs an editor. You have to be your own editor. But there isn't that censor, slash filter, slash english teacher who anybody needs. But my editors then become the lunatics that read you, and have no compunction to tell you exactly how they feel."]

CHAKRABARTI: If you're worried about the anarchy of the electronic commons, it's too late, Walter Brooks says. This is where newspapers are going. He claims new bloggers are coming to him as fast as the old media are letting reporters go. His profit margin hovers at 10-percent. Revenues are growing every year, making Brooks a champion, he says, of the "two-d's" -- dollars and democracy.

But I ask him, what about the two T's? Truth, and Trust.

[Brooks - [LAUGHS] "I can't think of anything that has less trust today than.."
Chakrabarti: "But you see what he's getting at, though."
Brooks: "Do you trust the old media?"
Chakrabarti: "Well, technically, I'm part of the old media."
Brooks: "I know, well, the old print media. Do you trust em?"]
----
BOERI: Well, that's Walter Brooks known as the "blog father" because he started the website Cape Cod Today, speaking with Radio Boston's Meghna Chakrabarti.
----

All this made me think that maybe bloggers are the new pamphleteers. Cheap, quick, dirty and daring. They’re producing a lot of stuff that’s best to wrap fish in, but maybe there’s a Thomas Paine or two among them as well.

For those of you who hate blogs, there’s this:

“Society owes protection only to peaceable citizens; the only citizens in the Republic are the republicans. For it, the royalists, the conspirators are only strangers or, rather, enemies. This terrible war waged by liberty against tyranny- is it not indivisible? Are the enemies within not the allies of the enemies without? The assassins who tear our country apart, the intriguers who buy the consciences that hold the people’s mandate; the traitors who sell them; the mercenary pamphleteers hired to dishonor the people’s cause, to kill public virtue, to stir up the fire of civil discord, and to prepare political counterrevolution by moral counterrevolution-are all those men less guilty or less dangerous than the tyrants whom they serve?”  - M. Robespierre, “On the Moral and Political Principles of Domestic Policy” (1794)

And for those of you who love them:

“The pamphlet is a one-man show. One has complete freedom of expression, including, if one chooses, the freedom to be scurrilous, abusive, and seditious; or, on the other hand, to be more detailed, serious and ‘high-brow’ than is ever possible in a newspaper or I most kinds of periodicals. At the same time, since the pamphlet is always short and unbound, it can be produced much more quickly than a book, and in principle, at any rate, can reach a bigger public. Above all, the pamphlet does not have to follow any prescribed pattern. It can be in prose or in verse, it can consist largely of maps or statistics or quotations, it can take the form of a story, a fable, a letter, an essay, a dialogue, or a piece of ‘reportage.’ All that is required of it is that it shall be topical, polemical, and short.”  - George Orwell, The British Pamphleteer

Pamphlets or blogs, the polemical is here to stay.

I'd be pretty pissed if I were Tim Caldwell, too.

Tim- by himself- just about doubles the page views of the rest of your top 10 bloggers combined. He frequently beats the Times to breaking news. I'll eat the CCToday print edition if he's over 40, too.

And you never mentioned the man.

(I feel pretty bad for Coleman, Solon, OB and Opinionator, too... let alone some of your younger bloggers (Katie, Troy, Aaron, etc...).

We've been here since the beginning, doing our best every day. We visit the sites of the other CCToday bloggers, debate the points, and kinda provide the Community aspect that really separates us from the Times/Globe/etc...

I'm not trying to slam Blanch, Robbins or Kenney. I've met some of them, and Peter was very nice to me when I was very nervous. They also do fine work.

But if you think those guys can carry this website if the rest of us vanished... you're higher.

Sure, CCToday has a fine presence of old school reporters... and it only takes about 20 of them to equal one Tim Caldwell.

I was insulted listening to that show.

NOTE from Blogfather Walter Brooks: Thanks for you kind words, Monponsett.
As we world NEVER ask you to change YOUR stories, it never occurred to us to tell WBUR whm to interview. We got the impression they were looking for politic and exposes, not opinion or sports.

I am a regular listener of Radio Boston and was pleasantly surprised to hear this piece. I think WBUR did a fantastic job covering Cape Cod Today, especially in noting CCT's ability to grab stories BEFORE that other media source that shall remain nameless. I definitely wish Timmy had been mentioned--but with time constraints you can't possibly mention everything. WBUR did a good job of describing CCT as a whole...and I'm sure web traffic is up this week after the broadcast.

On Friday, March 14th, cctoday experienced an increase in traffic of 30% over the previous 5 days.
The Kennedy story was picked up by BillOReilly.com, that hypocritical creep who sexually harassed several female interns. Also by the Smith & Wesson forum, and KeepandBearArms.com, all of Walter's favorite haunts on the Internet ;) Also the Free Republic, Boortz, and Lucianne, right wingers all. These gun-toting right-wing kooks sure do hate Kennedy.

CC Today,

"that hypocritical creep who sexually harassed several female interns"

Too bad WBUR wasn't doing a story in "accuracy in the media"

If Jeff had an editor, I wonder if they would have "killed" the Prada hatchet job?

The Prada hatchet job is being done by the Truro PD.
Just as the Manso gun charge, the running Marilyn Miller out of town, the pleading the 5th about missing money, and a TPD officer refusing to submit his DNA in a case where he has obvious interest.
Accuracy never bothered them, why pick on Jeff?

Not so fast Buzz, Jeff wasnt off base with that story. The "rumors" around are that poor old Punchy didnt have a house alarm to trip, or unregistered guns in his house....but the message was the same - Shut your mouth, or else. BUT, these are only rumors, as Jeff said, and they are rampant.

I have a history of missing CCToday events... but it still would have been nice to get credit... let alone NOT get called a daily rant.

Granted, I'm mostly effing around here when I write.... and I rarely break any stories.... but I like to think that I'm more than an afterthought here.

The French are notably sensitive... and I read that article as CCToday being a bunch of hack bloggers being carried by 4 or 5 people with actual talent.

Notice that Walter saw fit to address my comments, but let Chakrabati's assertion that most of us aren't worthy of wrapping a dead fish go unchallenged? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

I can tell you this... if I saw Walter being savaged in print like that, I'd rush to his defense. Again.. maybe that's the Frog in me, rallying around The Maid.... but Chakrabati would have barely got that fish reference out of her mouth before my (literary) fist was in it.

You and I fight a lot, Jack.... and I'm sure that I'm not one of Tim's favorite people... but we're all in the same gang here, although it appears that some Crips are more equal than others.

From the blog in question: "Prada's unexplained leave fans the fires of rampant speculation over what really happened that January day six years ago when Worthington was killed."

My very simple point is... no editor of any credible newspaper would have let that story run. Reporting rumors is not only dangerous, it's libel.
