The Collegiate Times – the student newspaper at Virginina Tech – has been providing multimedia/interactive media throughout the shooting crisis, employing an online blog-style approach that contains up-to-the-minute information sharing, as well as reader videos, photos and reports. Students appear to be participating in the Collegiate’s coverage rather than protesting against it, in marked contrast to the anti-media backlash aimed at other media outlets.
