Not 100% sure but I think that may have something to do with Press Release exclusivity.
I really don't see what all the fuss is about here. The Press Release went out round about 5:30 on Friday at which time it's possible for broadcasters to respond very quickly and get the news out in a timescale of a few minutes. Capital Caley appears to be claiming it went on the club site shortly after STV's bulletin at 6:20. What's the issue?
5:30 is also after normal closing time at the Stadium and I really think people down there, even of they are still working at that hour, have got better things to do with their time than hang around just in case there might be something to go on the website.
At this time of day, if they had waited with the general Release until after they had got it on the official site, then it would have missed Friday night bulletins and there would have been several cross broadcasters - including myself.
In general (and I suspect I speak for most journalists) I think that the best way IS for stuff to go out to the media first and then on to the club website maybe at the same time (which will be difficult to manage) or quite shortly after, which has happened here. Newsdesks, who convey news to far more people than a club website, are constantly across their emails but in terms of being across a single football club website, that reduces who gets it when to a complete lottery if it's on the official site first. However on odd occasions such as this, it will also mean that news can go out on air just before it goes on the official site.
I am taking it that, in saying that this release went on to the official site shortly after it went out on STV, Capital Caley was on and off the official site sufficiently often to know exactly when it wasn't there and when it was?
