Technology and breaking news
This article in today's New York Times about the London bombings, Witnesses Post Instant Photos on the Web to Capture Drama, points out that ...
"Online photo-sharing sites and Web blogs began chronicling the attacks soon after they occurred, posting material often gathered before professional news organizations arrived on the scenes.
The BBC posted photographs and videos taken by witnesses, and The Guardian posted experiences that readers submitted on a running Web log.
The attacks were not the first recorded by witnesses with cellphone and other digital cameras. Online experts like operators of photography sites and photography agencies said the pictures of the explosions were posted in greater numbers and with greater speed than they had seen in other major events.
Not only has the technology for taking the photographs become more widespread in the last few years, the experts said, but posting photographs has also become easier.
Flickr.com, a site owned by Yahoo that lets people post photographs free, had more than 300 bombing photos posted within eight hours after the attacks."
