Real Time Citizen Journalism in Mumbai Terrorist Attacks
Welcome to Gauravonomics Blog! Subscribe to my combined feed in a feed reader or by e-mail and you'll never miss a single post. Thanks for visiting!
( The Mumbai terror attack has finally ended after more than 60 hours.
Even as I continue to track instances of citizen journalism in the Mumbai terror attack on this post, I’m trying to make sense of what happened in a work-in-progress case study and a Flickr set of screenshot on the role of social media in the Mumbai terror attack. I’m also compiling reactions on Indian news media’s coverage of the terror attack.
For more, see my interviews on the role of citizen journalism in the terror attack with Los Angeles Times, CBS News, BBC, DNA, LiveMint, Associated Press, Journalism.co.uk, Tehelka, NPR, CNN, CUNY TV and Star Telegram.
Finally, the role of the online community in India has not ended with the Mumbai terror attack. We need to come together to shape a moderate, nuanced online discussion on the 11/26 Mumbai terror attack to bring back calm and peace to Mumbai and ensure that we don’t repeat the mistakes others have made after such tragedies.
One such initiative is Voices Against Terror, an open group blog/ online petition that hopes to help build international consensus, including consensus in Pakistan, against terrorism and terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jamaat-ud-Dawah.)
Late on November 26, Mumbai was shaken by a series of bomb blasts and shootouts in at least twelve ten prominent locations in the upmarket and densely populated South Mumbai, including hotels (Oberai Trident and Taj Mahal, Marriott and Ramada), the popular restaurant Leopold Cafe, hospitals (Cama Hospital and Bombay Hospital), Nariman House, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) railway station and the police headquarters in South Mumbai.
The situation is still developing and there is wide speculation about whether these incidents are a result of a gang war or a coordinated terrorist attack. Hitherto little-known terrorist organization Deccan Mujahideen has taken responsibility for the attacks but many believe that Lashkar-e-Taiba is behind the attacks. The terrorists, young men aged between 20 to 25 years, are believed to have come to Mumbai by sea.
So far at least 25 60 80 87 101 125 143 154 people are feared to be dead and t least 250 900 250 274 327 more are reported to be injured. At least 50 100 more people, especially British and US nationals, have been were held hostage by the terrorists at the Taj Mahal and Oberai Trident hotels and Nariman House, but most of them have been released now. As a result of heavy fighting, both hotels are on fire now the situation is under control now.
So far, micro-blogging service Twitter seems to be the best source for real time citizen news on the Mumbai terrorist attacks, and “Mumbai” & “#Mumbai” are both on Twitter trending topics now.
Some blogs, like Global Voices, are also beginning to write about the Mumbai terrorist attacks, but most active Indian bloggers are talking about the unfolding event on Twitter.
The Mumbai terrorist attack is now on the front page of Google News and Mahalo is doing a great job of compiling the story as it unfolds.
The first photos of the Mumbai terrorist attacks are up on CNN-IBN and NDTV and both (CNN-IBN and NDTV) are streaming live video feeds of the unfolding situation.
I’ll be updating this post with more citizen generated resources on the Mumbai terrorist attacks as they are put up.
Update (Nov 27, 12:45 am India time): The first YouTube videos on the Mumbai terrorist attacks are up (1 and 2), but they aren’t live accounts, just TV recordings. The first Flickr photographs of the Mumbai terrorist attacks are also put up by Vinukumar Ranganathan.

Finally, before I take my first break in almost 8 hours, I find myself in the unenviable situation of explaining to someone that this post is not a “power of social media” game for me, but a distraction from endlessly worrying/ praying about my friends back in Mumbai.
Update (Nov 27, 11:30 am India time): Back from a break, I’m shocked that the terrorist seize of Mumbai is still going on, after almost 12 hours! This is not a terrorist attack, this is war!

Update (Nov 28, 6:30 am India time): Three dramatically different first-hand accounts of the same #mumbai terror incident from Rahul, Amit and Sonia. It’s impossible to guess from the posts that they were stranded together at the Gordon House Hotel.
Suddenly, the tone of discourse on the Mumbai terrorist attacks has changed in the Indian blogosphere from sharing information and expressing pain to offering analysis and rhetoric.

Amit Varma points to some great news articles & blog posts on the #mumbai terror attacks.
Update (Nov 28, 11:15 pm India time): @zickzackly has started a Facebook event to show solidarity with the policemen and soldiers fighting the Mumbai attacks.
Update (Nov 28, 11:45 pm India time): Even as I continue to update this post with instances of citizen journalism in the Mumbai terror attacks, I’m trying to make sense of what happened in a work-in-progress case study on the role of social media in the Mumbai terror attacks.

I believe the information filtering to the people via the media is totalyl responsible for the numerous rumours coming up. After being with the city through all the previous situation, (blasts etc), it is troubling to know that all the main media companies send uneducated brash personnel to the sites to cover and analyse the situations. How can the big television networks propogate information without having hard evidence via their sources at the venue (e.g.CST) in such a important situation as this. Furthermore, all the media interviews with the Police/NSG etc, clearly show the undeucated appproach in questioning the authorities to gleen accurate information. Brash, abrasive, repetitive questions do not assist this situation.

Mr. Gaurav,
I’ve been following you at Twitter for quite a some time now. (@AravindJose)
As my contribution, I’ve created a “Documentary on Citizen Journalism in Mumbai War”.
It’ll be soon uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo and MetaCafe.
I wanted to thank you, as this post served as a “script” for the documentary. Proper attribution have been given at the end of the documentary.
I’ll send the link as soon as it is uploaded.

Now that the siege is over, it’s time to look what went wrong and what can be done to avoid any such attacks in future. I hope that from this time on, our goverment should wrok to further strenthen our boundaries and intellegence sources as well. It’s good to see people coming together and unite, but why should people unite only when there is a disaster, why can’t we always stay united??? This will for sure bring a change to our country.

Hi - thanks for your link to my blog post about Twitter’s Mumbai coverage. I’ve now followed up that post with another in which I propose some ways of making Twitter more useful for the specific circumstances around ‘live’, developing events like the Mumbai terror assault. What a tragic and hideous even it has been - our hearts go out to all those who have lost friends, relatives and loved ones.
