I think back to 2006 when Alexander Litvinenko, the former KGB soldier, was poisoned. Even in 2006 the spread of the news about his poisoning brought to the forefront the corruption within the the Russian government and police force. Even though attention to an event doesn't mean necessarily lead to changes it demonstrates how the world is watching and monitoring in ways it never has before. This video is a great example of another avenue in which digital news can be easily shared and even make an impact. It puts so much power in the hands of the individual to speak out. We live in exciting times. I have been fascinated by the proliferation of news through the internet and how quickly things are shared.
