In class last Wednesday, we discussed how blogging had an effect on the reporting on the tragedy that happened at VA Tech last week. I realized while watching MTV last week that our classmates were not the only ones discussing the subject. MTV news featured a young student named Cody, who blogged about the days occurences as they happened. It's important to note that VA Tech's website was shut down because of too much traffic last monday night, and Cody's blog was the only way that some students were able to track any updates. In a time like this, its really amazing to see how much the media has evolved to allow more of an "insider view" for the average person.
Cody's blog can be viewed at http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1557266/20070416/index.jhtml
