581 I don't know about anyone else in my field, but is anyone a tad concerned that Twitter and Facebook have become the defacto source of news information in Iran right now? I mean, maybe I'm an old fart here, but I find it astonishing that CNN and Fox are using Twitter and Facebook to provide coverage on the situation in Iran over journalists. To me this seems odd that there are no AP, no CNN cameramen or reporters that are able to crack a media block out, yet college kids with cellphone cameras and access to Twitter can. One would think there would be journalists in Iran who would employ or at least could transfer data, images and sound through the net to CNN of MSNBC or someone. I just find it amazing that after six hours of watching CNN, all their news gathering is coming off Twittter in to the office and then all the data is being analyzed by Turner's "Professionals". My head's spinning, Magnum could cover Tienanmen Square, but no Reuters or AP in Iran!? Guess, I'm not too old to take up drinking, cause the world's making my head spoin right now. 10 2009-06-21T02:12:42Z 0 2009-06-21T02:12:42Z true 28666 false 20110 2009-07-02T20:03:22Z Washington, DC true 2009-07-01T00:00:00Z false twitter-more-powerful-than-cnn 1 2009-07-02T20:03:22Z 14598
