"Playing" Journalist

Yahoo will now be allowing the general public to submit photos and videos from world events they've seen. It's odd because I thought this was already the case--I've seen amateur photos/videos all over the mainstream media since 9/11, especially in the Madrid bombings (which I mentioned previously). However, I'm all for making it more accessible and mainstream. Journalists can't be everywhere, it's just like that. But everyday people are. It only makes sense that they contribute to the news.

It seems like the news is being covered more and more thoroughly each day. Big Brother, anyone?
