What an amazing leap for facebook, the social network for college students online. Myspace had the same reaction,but this article is specifically about facebook. I also picked this article in memory of anyone who passed during the horrible VA TECH shootings. What a disqusting image and portrayl of the american college. Getting back to the article, this investigative story on facebook, shows how the very popular online medium, has recently become a way for students to deal with the problems they are facing after the massacre. Students may post memorials, pictures, and prayers, while also checking and making sure that all classmates and friends are safe and accounted for.
This article really shows how this generationw ill continue to thrive and grow on new technologies. In my mind, facebook, which was once just some silly college network that connected freinds from dorms and high schools, to an enourmous leap on how who communicate during an emergency situation. Instead of tying up all the phone lines and driving around frantically, facebook has eliminated some of the choas, through cyber space. Facebook and its poists are fast, clear, and to the points. The prayers and pictures are amazing, and alot of love is shown towards the familys' of deceased.

What a great article. This article is the perfect example of how a small newspaper can dominate the national competition when the writters and editors try to think and write outside the box. By that, I mea that they focus on something in debt and not just the regular news stories.In this case 13 miners were trapped in a West Virginia coal mine. They all died and the story hit the air and papers the same day a woman in Kentucky was preparing to bury her husband. The woman burying her husband. was the wife of a miner that bled to death three days before the 13 men died. No news teams came to cover her story, even though he was brutally killed, and people should be aware of how he died, what she is going through, and the dangers of the job, besides what had haooened to the 13 men.
I also really like how the article goes even further to investigate miner realted deaths dating back to the 90's. It was so interesting how the article went into an investigation and an in dept look of the job dangers and lives of miners. More small news stations and firms should model around this type of research and story content.
