Real Time Citizen Journalism in Mumbai Terrorist Attacks

( 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.)
