Today's unfortunate events in mumbai have raised some interesting questions about the relationship between Twitter and journalism.

A few places worth visiting:
- Dave asks if Twittering can be journalism?
- Ciarán thinks about the implications of the Indian government asking people to stop sending tweets from the scene.
- Andrew worries about the reliability of tweets from the scene and whether journalists should be quoting them at all.
I have to say that one of the most interesting pieces I read was by Drama 2.0 who argues that the difference between social media & journalism is the difference between data & news. He has a certain way with words, but it makes for compelling reading.

i have a question … does this mean traditional media is losing its relevance?
