Beneath the pavement, a blog! (Or, the Dublin riots and the citizen journalist’s revolution)

I think Emmet overstates the significance of the rioting just a tad, but his point is valid. In events as big as this the media just doesn’t have the access that ordinary people on the street do. And now that these ordinary people are beginning to use the tools at their disposal we are seeing the picture broaden, even if only a little.
