On the NPR program “Day to Day” this week, I join NPR’s Alex Chadwick to discuss the role of blogs in responding to the tsunami disaster. From first-person accounts, to amateur videoblogging, to tech aid, to fundraising coordination, to “citizen journalism” (nod to Dan Gillmor) that sometimes pokes holes in official government-isssue accounts — we explore online voices around the world.
