Hugh Martin on Blogs and Vlogs

Hugh Martin, former editor of theage.com.au and Age Journalist has written an interesting article in today’s Age about how ‘citizen reporters’ get the news out first. His thesis is based on the reporting of the Tsnami in the Indian Ocean. His article reminds me of the archive of ‘citizen reporting’ that was constructed at the Centre for History and New Media at George Mason University after the S11 attacks on the United States.
