The live news is unreal. It's not unique to Twitter but seeing multiple accounts of any event anywhere in the world within seconds is kind of insane.
I remember when the Beirut explosion happened so quickly you had footage of what had happened.
This kind of latency is unachievable by traditional news
- freeopinion 3y agoIt is achievable, but not always desirable. See, for example the ABC report of an ongoing firefight in Syria that turned out to be a gun range in Kentucky. Random footage of some explosion is not useful news without accurate explanations of what you are seeing. It often takes time to sort out the facts of a story. Moving breathlessly ahead without facts is usually called gossip.
