A couple of notes:
- CNN Air France coverage included an alert about debris being found, but CNN did not send out an alert when the plane first went missing or when it was clear that the plane had met a tragic end. Seems a little inconsistent.

-The economy coverage seems to generate less and less "alerts" with only Fox News sending an alert out on June 1st noting the "Dow closes up 221 Points"

- ABC sent out the following alert on Wednesday June 3rd. "Princeton University on Lockdown After Reports of a Gunman on Campus". They were the only ones to send out the alert and happily the incident at Princeton was not serious. Seems ABC could have held back a little longer. Interesting to note that the other major sources not only avoided sending out an alert but also avoided playing it up on their sites until more was known.

Nice catch on the ABC Princeton story. I look at the major news sites every two or three hours and did not even notice that story yesterday and yet it made ABC breaking news? It wouldn't have killed ABC to hold back and check if it was true like the others obviously did. Embarrassing.

that does seem odd from CNN. Didn't you note a couple of blogs ago that plane crashes are one story that generates an alert from all the news services?
