News Sentinel court reporter Jamie Satterfield's been getting some flak on Knox Blab about her Twitter coverage of the Christian/Newsom murder trials. A few posters seem to feel that she occasionally slips into too informal a tone (a couple of recent examples include "Cobbins, Thomas read knoxnews.com to keep track of probe. Yeah baby! We're that good that even fugitives read" and "Hate to see late fees on Manchurian Candidate DVD from Ky library confiscated by police in Chipman").
Satterfield herself responded to the brouhaha this morning, defending the general tone of her Twittering and the relevance of the particular ones in question.
At the end, though, she added a strangely personal note for a reporter in the middle of covering one of the highest-profile criminal trials in Knoxville in recent memory: "BTW the families follow my tweets and tell me they enjoy them. And that opinion is the one that matters most to me."
