Reports on the CBC Radio network that reporters were "live blogging" from the courtroom where judgments were being delivered in the Mike Duffy case reminded us of Jack Webster making his name in the 1950s Vancouver police probe by taking down testimony in shorthand and then running to a pay phone to call in the story to CJOR listeners.
Would Webster be live blogging today? Probably. And he would still be the best on the beat.
Meanwhile, in the great Press Club in the Sky, Webster and Wasserman continue their examination of the redesigned Vancouver Sun.
Wasserman: Have you seen the new head shots of the columnists?
Webster: Yes. They look like passport photos taken by a bad-tempered photographer.
