New media applications became Boston's and the Nation's immediate feed for public safety and information, including Twitter and scanner feeds. Brooke Gladstone discusses this with On The Media's Twitterer, Alex Goldman. Listen to the podcast and address Gladstone's remark, "...the sort of zing of authenticity," when talking about scanner feed applications.
I'm interested to know if this "zing" doesn't frame for us the context of the story, impacting our perception of what's really going on.
Post what you've discovered after some considerable research (three sources, stratified across the spectrum of media research, linked within your writing), discussing harms and benefits of the "zing."
This post is due no later than 2:30p, April 23.
