Smokey's message
still resonates

The amount of user generated content from the Southern California fires that has been uploaded to CNN’s i-Report has far surpassed citizen content surrounding the Minneapolis bridge collapse or the Virginia Tech shooting, reports MediaBuyerPlanner.

According to a spokesperson from CNN (via Andy Plesser and his Beet.tv blog), the content set a record for CNN in terms of citizen journalism.

As of midday yesterday, some 2,000 videos and photos had been uploaded.
