This document discusses how citizen journalism and social media are changing how news stories break and spread. It notes that when Osama bin Laden was killed, people found out through social media instead of traditional news wires. It also discusses how citizen videos on social media allowed news networks to report on a fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas 90 minutes before other networks because there were no journalists immediately on scene. The document promotes building social networks to spread work and ideas to make journalism more relevant for audiences.
