I would just like to add this comment from Dale North over at Destructoid:

"The media are more likely to do deep coverage of streamed conferences and announcements, actually"

This was in response to people saying that the media would gloss over the Nintendo conference because of its format...

The media are also more likely to do deep coverage of larger, more culturally-relevant, famous events than they are to do of smaller, newer, less-established events. They are particularly more likely to do 'deep coverage' of events that aren't designed in a manner that feels like a deliberate snub to journalists.

Errr...what exactly did you just say? From what I gathered, you (someone who has no ties to gaming media) are disagreeing with Dale North (someone who works for a sizable gaming news site) with pretty much nothing backing up your point. 

Also, I don't think most journalists are taking this approach as a "snub"...

Don't be childish. I'm not 'disagreeing with Dale North.' I'm saying that the ability to do deeper coverage of a streaming event compared to a live one is only one small factor in a larger list of factors.

Someone could do a deeper coverage of a streaming video of some unknown comedian than they could if they were taking notes on their phone in a loud bar seeing him live, but that doesn't mean it will get more coverage in the media than a journalist watching a live show by a famous comedian like Kevin Hart. 

And gaming journalists are getting pampered by the E3 events and will likely, whether you want to believe it or not, not prefer being treated like 'everybody else.'

I'm not going to respond to you in the future so consider this my last word on the subject, or any subject to you. I don't enjoy talking with you.
