Showing the entire story, I realize, breaches journalistic conventions but I find the interraction draws out other themes, corrects errors, and invites 'rebuttal' comments on contentious quotes (the people participating in this process never dispute that they do not 'own' any quote other their own.)But I don't have to worry about someone calling my editor to complain about the story in progress!Construction Marketing Ideashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16968597544299489425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35324813.post-38213457686910979962008-05-28T12:53:00.000-07:002008-05-28T12:53:00.000-07:00To your point regarding showing the article I also...To your point regarding showing the article I also think some collaboration is definitely a good thing.
