You'll likely see a change in the time it takes us to report breaking news. Fort Wayne dispatchers will no longer provide basic information to media, which has been a courtesy for as long as I've been reporting news here.
Wonder why? We've been told that during recent protests in the city, a Fort Wayne TV station was reporting officer movements play-by-play LIVE based on scanner traffic. This is unconscionable and dangerous.
Now, because a local media outlet chose to be reckless with their "reporting," we'll be delayed in our reporting of future breaking news, which will then impact you.
Fortunately we enjoy a strong relationship with @FortWaynePolice and @ISPFortWayne, so we're confident that the news gathering process will not be dramatically impacted, just different and slowed. Still, it's unfortunate and unnecessary the change had to happen.
