Off the record, yes the only difference was a real time timeline. That was
trying something new. But materially it's just a variation on tweeting out
the
details of our historical articles. Best example was in early May last year
we
did the Gary Powers shootdown anniversary article.. .went blow by blow through
the situation.., just not in real time. We stretched it out over a few days
(now
granted that entire event took months not hours to unfold). All today was
a
futher condensed tweetified version of an article on our page we posted on
Friday found here:
https://www.cia.gov/news-information/featured-story-archive/2016-featured-
story-archive/minutes-and-years-the-bin-ladin-operation.html
All I am saying is it was trying something slightly different but wasn't a
radical deviation from the norm. This historical case could be told in real
time in ways that most can't. I see your story is posted. Will check it
out.
