Tonight the Czech president is to announce to a group of his supporters gathered at the Prague Castle whether he is going to run for the office again. Journalists are not allowed to attend the event, but they want to get the information right away. The newsrooms in the Czech Television and Hospodářské noviny daily have been closely monitoring one and the same event since early this morning putting together their "breaking news". However, the way they do it is not quite the same. We get a very fresh and authentic inside look into the practices of journalists working for traditional media in the hectic times of information overload.
