Local newspaper gets beat by 9-year-old reporter

[Gator]

I read this, and had I rolled my eyes any harder, they would have fell out of my head. There are several things wrong with this story, the first of which being I don't believe a word of it.

Also this headline: “EXCLUSIVE: MURDER ON NINTH STREET!” Sensationalizing news at that age? What a hack. Future NYDN reporter, perhaps?

9-year-old reporter breaks crime news, posts videos, fires back at critics

Gator gets beat by a post two threads down:

WaPo profiles a 9-year-old crime reporter ... who breaks news ... and faces critics

Damn! But how old was the person who best me?

Damn! But how old was the person who best me?

I, too, am nine years old!

Mwuahahaha

That 9-year-old won't truly be a good reporter until she reaches the age of 30.

That 9-year-old won't truly be a good reporter until she reaches the age of 30.

That's when she'll get laid off to be replaced by the up-and-coming 8-year-old ...

Lame.

I wish I could hear what the editors told the local reporter/s that got beat to the story by this 9-year-old.

But would Gawker post a sex tape of her? Reports say yes.

So if she write something libelous, does she get sued for her stuffed animals?
