Finally today, 100 days after he passed away, Ken Kelley's death was finally reported by his adopted hometown newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle. According to those who produced his obituary, they found out about his passing by reading my tribute.
Let's pull back a bit. Our world is changing. It used to be that until an "official" news source, i.e., a newspaper, reported something, it simply didn't happen. But Ken did die, as I reported over three months ago in this blog. Why did it take so long for his death to become "official"?
I don't have any answers to this question. But it may be connected to why newspapers are collapsing and blogs are exploding.
