Sky News uses liveblogging tool for Crewe by-election debate

By Martin Stabe wirepost

Sky News is the latest news organisation to experiment with the liveblogging service Coveritlive.

The rolling news channel used the service yesterday to run a live three-way online debate between the candidates in the Crewe by-election, Simon Dickson notes on the blog of his Puffbox consultancy.

The Lancashire Evening Post will use the tool later today for a story about local pubs. Last week the Liverpool Daily Post used the service to live blog a day in its newsroom.
