Salon: The tip came in to Gary Martin, the politics and government editor for the San Antonio Express-News, at around 1 p.m. CT. About 2½ hours later, the story was online, and the world knew that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was dead. “We just started working off the tip,” Martin said, not long after the Express-News’ piece went live. “I think we found out about it as it was kind of unfolding. Everywhere we were going, there was no comment.”
