The major news outlets reported on two robberies in Volusia County yesterday. The robberies occurred in New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach. The major media barely gave any details on the New Smyrna Beach robbery, so once again I had to go to a local citizens blog who reports on the crimes in Volusia County, and acquires much of his information by monitoring law enforcement radio using a scanner. Here is his report.

Sometimes I think that the major media outlets could learn a few things from citizens with blogs that are interested in reporting as much factual information that is known at the time of writing. Let it be known to all of the readers, that when there is a situation brewing in that area of Volusia County, Gun Shy immediately goes to this blog and so should you, because there is usually a host of raw information and details there that the mainstream media misses in their reporting.

In the rush to be first to report, sloppy reporting is the norm. Later, when all the facts are available it is no longer 'sensational' enough to bother with.
Thanks! I really do enjoy doing this. I do it as news breaks some times i jump the gun too fast that it might be a false alarm. But I try my best to make the info clean and clear but someitmes that just doesn't happen :P. Yes the news does not do a good job in covering our county. The only ones that seem to do a decent job is wesh and news journal, sometimes they do get lucky.
Thanks again!
