Day four of MMA Media Roundtable

If the past two weeks has taught us anything its the level of rumor talked about on the blogosphere. With the immediacy internet reports spread faster than ever so a report with an anonymous source can quickly translate into gospel. 

How do we balance reporting rumor or gossip compared to news? It's a tricky question and its the topic of todays MMA Media roundtable. 

Zak Woods:

We are in the business of revealing or discussing information (otherwise known as storytelling). We shouldn't go into a situation with one hand tied behind our back. However in the search for information and the development of sources sometimes it is necessary to not write about everything we hear. Again this is a balancing beam and it helps to have other writers or editors to discuss such issues to try and come to the correct conclusion.
