As I was scanning the chatter about Hurricane Dolly over lunch, a tweet by the <a href="http://www.redcross.org/">Red Cross</a> caught my eye. </p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/managingnews/2697043156/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3084/2697043156_0c80af7aa8.jpg?v=0"></a></p> <p>My first reaction was, "the Red Cross uses Twitter?" I followed the link to its blog covering <a href="http://hurricanedolly.wordpress.com/">Hurricane Dolly</a>. Although neither the blog nor the twitter feed is a great source for breaking news, I found it very interesting where they were <a href="http://hurricanedolly.wordpress.com/2008/07/23/welcome-to-the-red-cross-hurricane-dolly-online-newsroom/">directing</a> folks to get updates on the storm: to the <a href="http://flickr.com/search/?q=hurricane%20dolly&amp;w=all">Flickr</a>, <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=Hurricane+Dolly">Twitter</a>, and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hurricane+dolly&amp;search_type=">Youtube</a> feeds mentioning the hurricane from the public at large.</p> http://preview.managingnews.com/blog/2008/jul/23/red-cross-points-new-media-updates-hurricane-dolly#comments breaking news Citizen Journalism flickr hurricane new media news tracking Red Cross twitter youtube Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:26:56 +0000 AJ Herrmann 21 at http://preview.managingnews.com/blog
