So today I heard that there were shootings at Northern Illinois University. I found out almost immediately after it happened from a friend who has friends at the school. I went to cnn.com to get my information, but then began thinking about how citizen media affected it. I'm sure people within the lecture hall had, and very possibly used cell phones to alert authorities to the atrocities being undertaken. This is a completely different use of citizen media then what I initially thought to be the uses of it. It is good that such technology is being used in an effective manner.
peace,
Martin
