Sentinel.com blog

For the past two years, we’ve occasionally used coveritlive to host a variety of conversations online. Some sessions have been discussions with experts or public officials after series on gangs or drugs or healthcare. We’ve also used coveritlive to allow users to share information during storms or fires. We’ve also used it as a live sports scoreboard, allowing our reporters (and anyone else) to send cell phone updates directly to the site from events.

Part of the mission for Sentinel.com is to be live and interactive, and we’ve talked about allowing any and all reporters on staff to have a live chat window available to use as they please if it helps them cover an event or share information.

Not a lot of takers so far. Reporters are pretty busy and we haven’t pushed it. But we like the idea of opening a window with the public. If you have a question about our coverage, our website, story suggestions, etc. You’re welcome to ask it here. We’ll answer as quick as we can.
