Another Citizens' Media Milestone Reached

This is one passed by so quietly and naturally that it took this post at Circulation Dropping to realize it had gone by: The canard that it takes legacy media to effectively cover an overseas story died on the streets of Kiev. If you've been trying to follow the story of the Ukrainians' attempt to overturn a corrupt election, you didn't go to CNN or the NYT, even for primary coverage. Instead you picked up first hand reportage at quaintly named places like 'Post Modern Clog', TulipGirl, Periscope, and the Maidan Internet news collective. Congrats to the Ukrainian bloggers for putting this myth to rest, and best wishes on achieving a real democracy, hopefully without the need for violence.
