The news used to be a one way outlet of information. Concerns or inerests of the audience were not really considered. Media channels like TV, radio or newspapers had all the power over the decision what to present to us.
This has changed! These days it is the people, who make the news. It is a lot more participatory than it used to be through the internet and new devices. Now we can use smart phones, blogs, instant massengers or socials sites like twitter or facebook to post news. All this contributes to a broader choice of what kinds of news we want to see/hear/read about and also these devices allow people to access news faster and in more places!
To wrap it all up I found a video about the attacks in Mumbai several years ago. It explains very well how these new types of news have helped people to distribute news and how they helped to stay in touch with each other...
