Comments on: A case of the Mondays for Detroit’s mayor http://webdesign.ltu.edu/2008/03/24/a-case-of-the-mondays-for-detroits-mayor/ Professor Dino Baskovic of Lawrence Technological University on web design, communication and social media Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:35:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Kevin http://webdesign.ltu.edu/2008/03/24/a-case-of-the-mondays-for-detroits-mayor/#comment-39 Kevin Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:07:36 +0000 http://webdesign.ltu.edu/2008/03/24/a-case-of-the-mondays-for-detroits-mayor/#comment-39 I too had to jump around for reliable streaming video. I started with the locals and found moderate success on WXYZ (Channel 7). After checking CNN to see if the story went national, I found they had the best video quality and reliability. And yes, kudos to the Freep for not making us jump around yesterday. I too had to jump around for reliable streaming video. I started with the locals and found moderate success on WXYZ (Channel 7).

I keep meaning to rig up a pretty lil’ flat panel in my office, but SportsCenter or Super Smash Bros. would too easily fill its screen. As for streaming video, I noticed a fair amount of lag during peak live, and many of the news sites here still treat me and other Mac users like second-class netizens. Compliments to Freep, however, for streaming the mayor’s rebuttal right on their home page. I guess old media has a few new tricks up its sleeve, after all.

Granted, it was only during the news portion at the end, they still talked about it. One great thing about the coverage of the press conferences was the many sites with streaming video. It gave the "no TV in the office" crowd a way to see and hear the action. I knew we hit the big time when they discussed it on Howard Stern today.
