- Audience-generated content
- Mobile video and photography enables new type of coverage experienbce
- Change too fast for bloggers

Quote from bbc guy:
It certainly showed the power of what our users can do when they are close to a terrible event like this

The picture I'm refering to is captionned "Passengers evacuate an underground train at Kings Cross (Photo: Alexander Chadwick)"
BBC has a nice little slide show, but as ever, the best interesting, raw, curious (what's with all the intense Joan Crawford headhsots), moving, spontaneous, uneven and constantly growing media is on Flickr (I was watching the "The 7/7 Community (formerly London Bomb Blasts)" group pool but there are many others)
