Breaking The Bucket Laden History

Be otherwise now? I thinks so. Vietnam would have looked very different if we could it have seen #by the lenses of miles of smartphones scattered surroundings to the country. The Facts move much faster these days, and move #by different channels.
We could do the case that was Twitter user Sohaib Athar, a self-aide of computador described that has happened to be I awakens 1 a.m. Sunday when USA the military helicopters gone down in the leader of terror hideout, near Athar house in Abbottabad, Pakistan. It has informed "an enormous window that he shakes bang" and has added, "I expects is not the beginning of something bad."(1)
The new has begun to filter only an hour or two before Obama has spoken, when the White House has begun to inform congressional leaders and in the foreign allies. Most of informing it result of leaks of anonymous government, follow-up by the statements freed to the cameras of press to the White House, the Pentagon and the State Department.
Athar Probably does not think of him like journalist, and journalists more professional probably they no he consider a neither. When far when we know, has not run in the scene or the beginning that works the telephones when it became conscious that something big happened. It has informed it fair in the world in his Twitter feeds. Working journalists probably liken Athar to the old-fashioned tipster that could telephone a newsroom when he noticed something that matters that it goes . But so social networking exchange the newsroom for the whole world, the line between tipster and beginnings of reporter to blur.
Night of Saturday, Obama has paid tribute in the journalists that have been kidnapped, abused and killed covering new surroundings to the world. "Anybody would have to be silenced," the president said.(2) "This is the one who you do. And in his best, this are which journalism is."
During the War of Vietnam, most of the routine, coverage of daily war has come of reporters Saigón that have answered the army of the daily USA briefings, nicknamed the "five or'clock locuras." Day after day, mas after month, the general have informed that America won the war, killing far more enemy combatants (although no still used that sentence) that the losses have sustained. Faster or more tarda, the Communist have seemed tied to run out of fighters.

in the end, is not any surprise that a Pakistani computador guy we has given ours first news of the vareo that has killed Osama bucket Laden. The welcome the news was #a long time that #come, but has arrived once, achieved here very fast.

Cameras of press are not where the news really happens. Need of announcements of the government to be covered, of course, but the real news happens out in the field. It is difficult and often dangerous to achieve in this news, and a lot of journalists take big risks to do it. A bit sobrio does a week, British filmmaker Tim Hetherington and photographer norteamericano Chris Hondros has been killed in Libya. And fair some how many hours before the announcement of Sunday, reporter of News of the CBS Lara Logan has described his ordeal to hands of an Egyptian mob in an appearance in 60 Minutes.
Osama Bucket Laden the death is, for Americans and many other surroundings to the world, the news the biggest from Sep. 11, 2001. Pues That has broken the history?
(1) The Temps of New York: he Updates Bucket Laden Dead, May 2
official norteamericanos more tarda informed that a helicopter of USA has gone down during the operation, because of mechanical problems. There was any damage. Athar Was conscious of the mishap.
It was Sunday, of course, pues a lot newsrooms handled in of the équipages of skeleton. And in one was when more half companies have a lot scaled behind his foreign operations to cut costs, had little possibility to take any buzz on a big explosion followed by a military cordon to a provincial city a pair of hours of the capital of Pakistan. Besides, would have seemed fair another terrorist attack, such time aimed in military Pakistan and his ease of training in Abbotabad.
The history was different in the battlefields. Sometimes join daring the journalist would risk the Pentagon ire to go of the reservation and that informs that fair capture earth by day and in the delivering behind by night, and that very Vietnamese (these profiting of the war aparta) has not been enthused on the democratic executive supposedly struggle since. Even so, has taken a long time for something another that the line of government to penetrate the public consciousness.
A question a more interesting that himself Athar can be considered a journalist is why person inside the news of entity of the world the organizations seems to has been conscious of Athar reports.
It has informed, some how many hours after his first message, that "am JUSTO a tweeter, awaken in the time of the accident. No very twitter users in Abbottabad, these guys is more to facebook. This is everything." Least that 24 hours, when the extensive word of bucket Laden dead, Athar has realized his life was roughly to change. "Uh oh, Now am the guy that liveblogged Osama beaten without the knowledge," has written in Pakistan pre-dawn hours Monday, fair before President Obama has appeared television to announce the event.
It has #to have very such attacks. But a small verificando would have appeared the suspicious facts that the Pakistanis they alike to know little on which had happened, and said even least. Neither was there anybody of the usual claims of responsibility of advertising-looking for groups of terror. Neither was there a report of a local hospital on casualties, neither the typical haste of relatives to the scene investigation of news on loved ones.
The emergence of Twitter, Facebook and other technologies has populated the planet with 7 billion tipsters - or is that 7 billion journalists? A lot that of the that know on day-to-events of day in Libya and the correct Syria now, Egypt does some how many months, or will Go after his fraudulent 2009 election, has come of normal citizens with the value to take even risk graver than correspondents more foreign never expensive, in an effort to give the world-wide the truth.
