Stuart Hughes discusses how social media newsgathering has evolved over time. Originally, reporters relied on acetate discs and satellite phones to share information from war zones. Now, technologies like BGAN networks, WiFi, apps like Hootsuite and Twitpic, and portable devices allow near-real time coverage from conflict areas via social media.
