Beijing Olympic Closing Ceremony underway, But Reporters and Bloggers Love Best
Beijing 2008 Olympic Closing Ceremonies Revealed: The closing ceremony for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing has already been underway for some hours now, but if you’d like to follow it all through some good ol’ liveblogging action, we’ve scrounged up several choice picks. For an American audience, relegated to watching happenings time-delayed by nearly half a day, these will surely come in handy.
NBC has no hold over the news media’s reportage of the celebration, as it does with broadcasts of the ceremony in the US prior to its own showing later today, so feel free to venture over to The New York Times, The Washington Post, or USA Today to get a text-based grip on the big finale happening in China.

The New York Times and USA Today appear to deliver the best reviews of the closer. They’re easiest to follow, while WaPo’s delivery is less substantive. WaPo’s commentary is nice an casual, though, so if you’re looking for a bit of humor to go with the liveblog process, there you have it. No imagery to go along with the jokes, however.

NBC Chooses TVTonic to Provide Downloadable Olympics Coverage
Want images? Visit The New York Times. Quite a nice amount, I think. USA Today hosts one JPEG as I write this.
Across the pond, the BBC has put together some good text for readers. Like WaPo, it is absent of anything shiny and bright to look at, but it otherwise makes for a decent source of information.
The Telegraph packs quite a decent punch, too. And its commentary has that classic Telegraph tinge to it, which makes for fairly entertaining reading.
Collectively, there’s certainly going to be ample overlap in terms of coverage among these various sources, but all told, they make for a rather thorough take of the event. Some of you will naturally prefer video entertainment to finish out the weekend, but this bunch will have to do for now. Surely there’ll be plenty to consume in short order within the folds of YouTube and DailyMotion and whathaveyou.
