Citizen journalism.
I
think the thing that bothered me the most about the Occupy protests in Hong Kong from late September to December 2014 was the reporting of events on social media.
Unsourced, unchecked, unvetted stories were being posted, videos that
had been edited for effect, images that distorted the facts - this made
me more upset than the violence shown by both sides.
I had
trouble expressing this idea, but Episode 5 of Season 3 of The Newsroom
said it for me. Here's an excerpt of that episode.
