Facebooking Through Tragedy




When disaster and tragedy used to strike, most of us turned on the network news. Now, many of us turn to social media. So it was for me after Hurricane Sandy and Sandy Hook, when Twitter was a vital stream of information, a way of partitioning suffering into more easily digestible updates. And so it began again on Monday, after the bombing of the Boston Marathon. In the initial aftermath of the attack, I was glued to Twitter. And yet, as details of the carnage emerged, I found myself logging on to Facebook instead. This was not the newshound in me, but the lifelong Bostonian who didn't care in this case about a national perspective on the events, but rather the personal specifics. When tragedy strikes elsewhere in the world, we sign onto Twitter. When it hits home, we sign onto Facebook.
