The Role of New Technologies

I believe that the use of new technologies played a very important role in the reporting of the shooting the Congresswoman over the weekend. Without this advance technology, the media would not have been able to report this tragic incident in the fast time span that they did. I feel as if with this remarkable advancement in technology that all media outlets use, audiences, viewers, and even listeners are able to rely on different news sources to get there news as soon as possible, in case of any danger, or just simple news that needs to be provided. In this specific case, the news stations, on radio and television, did an outstanding job getting the story out to the community. I personally heard about the shooting incident through WRAL news, and I feel that they did a wonderful job with getting the breaking news out to the public in a timely manner.
