"As tsunami blogs fill the web, Bobbie Johnson considers the role of citizen journalism in a disaster."

En balanserad artikel i Guardian om bloggar i Sydostasienkatastrofen:

"The process of citizen journalism is not always about being first on the scene. The web's most important contribution was to inform people about what was happening - to organise people, and point them in the direction to raise funds.

Within a few hours of the quake, users were logging on to communal online encyclopedia Wikipedia and compiling a breakdown of what had occurred, including scientific analysis, links to news articles and ways to give aid."
