Friday, April 13, 2012
Everyday on the
CitizenTube channel
(and
@CitizenTube
on Twitter), along with our curation partners
@storyful
, we look at how the top news stories are covered on YouTube. Each week we post a weekly recap of the top news stories of the week, as seen through the lens of both citizen-reported footage and professional news coverage.
We watched the world's attention turn to Florida as
George Zimmerman was charged
with the second-degree murder of Trayvon Martin.
We saw the ground in Indonesia shake as the country was
rocked by a powerful earthquake
, sparking tsunami fears.
We witnessed dramatic scenes in Virginia Beach as an F-18 fighter jet
crashed into an apartment block
, starting a large fire.
We observed
tension and doubts
surrounding the first days of a Syrian ceasefire, especially after
attacks on a refugee camp
across the Turkish border.
We followed another twist on the US campaign trail as Rick Santorum
bowed out of the race
.
We were on the edge of our seats as the final day of 76th US Masters golf tournament entered a playoff, with Bubba Watson eventually donning
the fabled green jacket
.
We viewed Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano,
erupt for the 24th
time this year.
We saw unrest in Bahrain as police
fired tear gas
on crowds during protests, both in support of a
hunger-striker
, and against the F1 Grand Prix race.
We paid tribute to legendary 60 Minutes journalist Mike Wallace, who died this week aged 93, with a compilation of some of
his classic interviews
.
We watched the classic London Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge fall to pieces as
a swimmer interrupted the race
.
Come back to see the news unfold on YouTube.
