The World is Talking. Global Politics

Cell phone cameras make it possible for anyone anywhere to record news events. Just the latest example is the dramatic images taken by citizen journalists during the shootings at Virginia Tech. What makes them citizen journalists is not a prior intention to cover the news but the fact they they did cover it--and could cover it--given the opportunity. KY3 covered the cell phone angle using me as a source.

I wonder how long it will be before a cell phone company markets a model specifically for citizen journalists?
