No mention of ANN.

A lot of what I've seen in the press is excerpted from the video
coverage of the event. DEEPBLU Studios is credited with the video
content. I watched it real-time on a satellite feed. At a point just
after landing, I saw a person with a TV camera escorted away. (Know
anything about that?)

Good up-to-the minute coverage was provided by these sites:

http://www.spaceflightnow.com and
http://www.space.com

CNN's website has an article written by Michael Coren of CNN. No
mention of ANN. The photos were credited to the Dexter and Southfield
Schools, CNN, and Scaled Composites.

The content of the stories on the ABCNEWS and FOXNEWS websites is
credited to Associated Press. Again, no ANN.

The content on MSNBC's website is provided by their own Science
Editor, Alan Boyle.

So, what's all this about exclusivity? What value was added by ANN?

In zoomspeak it means I was there taking pictures .He probably paid his own way
and is working for free .It's the old possibility and probability effect in
action. It's possible he's the pool reporter but he's probably just there making
a pest of himself. Maybe pool reporter means that he does all his writing in
the motel swimming pool. I'd love to talk to some real reporters that were there
and ask if they saw zoomy in action.LOL!!

Yep, zooms exclusive was so great that I have yet to see a single account,
story byline, photo, or anything attributed to Zoom in any of the news media
coverage. Must have missed it in all the coverage from other media sources.

Has anybody, besides pauwn, seen anything outside of ANN that was attributed to
zoom?

I saw most of the CNN coverage (thank you Replay TV), which was
largely Miles O'Brien and his color man :-) Dick Rutan. Later I was
laughing my ass off when I read ANN's article quoting the exact same
lines I'd already heard from O'Brien. It should have been titled "our
coverage of CNN's coverage". Although I guess it does prove once and
for all that somebody at ANN can afford basic cable.

Now Chuck....

Have you considered that he might actually be telling the literal truth?

For instance:
If he hired himself and assigned himself as his very own pool reporter?

But I do like your "pool" theory better.

Actually, you missed something else entirely, but that's about par for you.

Why don't you just write Diamandis and ask him about the ANN press release,
and whether or not it's true?

Why should there be? CNN is not making claims that they have any
exclusive agreement with the X-Prize Foundation.

The observation is that I have found no media outlet has displayed any
indication of reliance on ANN. At the same time, there is nothing on
the X-Prize Foundation website that directs media outlets to ANN.

Well, I'll give you my shot at it. Press pools are designed to provide
press coverage of news events while avoiding having to provide direct
access for hundreds of reporters. Pool reporters' products are made
available without restriction to all media.

You can find a fairly decent description at:

http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/P/htmlP/poolcoverage/poolcoverage.htm

One unvarying aspect of the traditional press pools is a *mix* of
reporters. That's why you sometimes see pool reports bylined like, "Joe
Smith of the Big Springs Herald"... Joe won the pool lottery, and that's
why Geraldo isn't writing the piece.

When the organization that is the *subject* of the news selects a
particular entity to provide news to the media, that isn't pool coverage.
That's being a press agent. The members of all legitimate press pools are
selected either by lottery or by rotation.

Thanks, Ron. I guess that I did have a notional idea of what a press
pool is. But as unlikely as it sounded, the assertion that "all
worldwide media have to get their stories through us" contradicted
that notion and was leading me to believe that ANN had exclusive
rights to coverage. It's now apparent they didn't.

Today I saw the first pictures from ANN on the Space.com website. Out
of 20 photos in their image gallery, X-Prize had 8 photos and ANN is
credited with 7.

That is NOTHING, just saw a copy of a French Car commercial that was so bad
(GOOD) that I almost died laughing. It is a commercial for some small car.
Starts with this cat walking by the car. The car opens the moon roof. The cat
being curious climbs to the top of the car and sticks it head down inside the
car. THe moon roof closes, the cats head drops inside, the remainder of the
cat slides off the car.

Think any car company could get away with that HERE? NEVER HAPPEN>

Even so, an abort to the runway would be a lot safer.
You'd still have the fuel weight, but not the volitility.

The horror...

Your post is going to cost you two compressor stalls in the first
turbine you fly in (hope it's not a Boeing 737), an untracable rattle in
the empennage of your RV-4 that will haunt you for years to come, and a
lifetime's supply of ****** enlargement emails.
