From the tsunami to Hurricane Sandy, the Nepal earthquake to Syrian
refugees-defining images and accounts of humanitarian crises are
now often created, not by journalists but by ordinary citizens
using Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat. But how
has the use of this content-and the way it is spread by social
media-altered the rituals around disaster reporting, the close, if
not symbiotic, relationship between journalists and aid agencies,
and the kind of crises that are covered? Drawing on more than 100
in-depth interviews with journalists and aid agency press officers,
participant observations at the Guardian, BBC and Save the Children
UK, as well as the ordinary people who created the words and
pictures that framed these disasters, this book reveals how
humanitarian disasters are covered in the 21st century - and the
potential consequences for those who posted a tweet, a video or
photo, without ever realising how far it would go.
