I’ve always said that social bookmarking sites like Digg and Propeller are akin to acts of citizen journalism. That’s why I recently started working for NewsTrust.
Last night proved it even more. If social news sites are about the exchange of important information – the most active people are doing acts of reporting. When that ability was seemingly taken away from them – they began to use other tools to report on and protest.
Journalism is about educating groups and causing action. That’s what happened last night. Check the beat blogging post below for a different angle on it all.
