Live from inside the courtroom, via Twitter

A journalist is tweeting the closing arguments of a sentencing trial in Spokane — live. This is a capital murder case.

The newspaper’s Twitter feed is here. WARNING: Some descriptions and references relate to extreme violence. More trial coverage from The Spokesman-Review appears on a special Web page.

Journalists at The Wichita Eagle pioneered this kind of live online trial coverage a year ago.

Earlier I wrote about a post by the editor of The Spokesman-Review concerning this coverage and the reaction in his community.

    I have to say, I’ve been really impressed with the Spokesman’s coverage of this trial. They’ve twittered, they’ve live blogged, they’ve had regular analysis pieces, they provide RSS and e-mail alerts … Really a well-rounded way to cover something that many people are interested in. Now, to make this the rule, and not the exception!
