CNN is on with news from Tallahassee. People have been shot in the FSU library.
CNN didn’t break this story. I first got the news on Twitter. That’s becoming more rule than exception.
Florida State’s original tweet about a DANGEROUS SITUATION caught fire! News like this explodes through social media. It becomes unavoidable.
Meanwhile, it’s still the traditional news sources we turn to once we get the tipoff. That’s why the TV went on. But their resources pale in comparison to crowd sourcing. Right now it’s social media CNN is relying on!
I saw someone complain Fox News and CNN had dropped the ball. I guess he was expecting them to have crews standing by in Tallahassee in case anything ever happened at midnight.
There’s a new boss in breaking news.
