Syria violence, SpaceX Landing, Second Earthquake Strikes Italy
Friday, June 1, 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 were shocked at the deaths of
dozens of children
and
hundreds overall
during a week of
horrific violence
in Syria. (Warning: Scenes of an extremely graphic nature)
We saw millions across America commemorate Memorial Day by
honoring those
who died in service to their country.
We viewed the
successful return
of the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft to Earth, ending a
9-day voyage
to the ISS with a splashdown in the Pacific.
We were saddened at yet more deaths in Italy, as a
second earthquake
rocked the North East of the country, killing 15, just days after a first earthquake hit.
We followed the presidential candidates on the US campaign trail as Mitt Romney finally officially
clinched the Republican nomination
by reaching the magic number of 1,144 delegates.
We watched
thousands of fans
descend on Monte Carlo for the 2012 Monaco Grand Prix.
We observed the staging of
colorful "slutwalks"
across Brazil as thousands of women participated to promote LGBT equality.
We witnessed a fire in a Doha shopping mall
claim the lives
of 19, including 13 toddlers.
Finally, we saw Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
cause a stir
in Cannes as they attended film screenings together.
Come back to watch the news unfold on YouTube.
