Shaping the Future of NYC

I am part of the media group and one of the things we are looking to discuss is the impact of social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter on how the general public consumes the news and information. The article I have attached is about the man who lived nearby the raid on Osama Bin Laden’s camp. When the entire world was completely in the dark as to what was happening, a man was tweeting the raid from his home and it got some attention. This just shows the power of the world wide web and social networking coming together to share information as it’s happening despite the most covert of missions.
