Buenos Aires Protests Organized and Documented on Social Media
If Americans know about massive protests yesterday in Argentina, chances are it's through social networks. Score one for democratic media. But the photos and tweets don't tell the whole story.
Yesterday, Twitter was alight with references to hundreds of thousands of people protesting in Buenos Aires. The protest was also organized using social networks.
This morning, I went to the New York Times to read more. Home page: nothing. International: Nothing. Americas: Still nothing.
A Google search turned up some international coverage, but virtually no U.S. coverage.
Meanwhile, Twitter is exploding with comments.
And Instagram posted a photo gallery.
Sometimes the Internet does make the world smaller.
But we still need text to explain why Argentines are protesting.
