It seems lately that when somewhere in the world things go to hell in a hand basket everyone starts lining up on either side of the fence as to whether or not Twitter is a valid news source. Hell some are even calling it Twitter journalism, but if that is the case then journalism is [...]

Because of this there is no easy and fast way to search for this information.
We have built have integrated a news posting service into our micro blog “Conversations” This ability to post news to the microblog is also integrated into our feed reader and both services post to twitter.
When you search on adelph.us for a news story you will receive results that are from both main stream media as well as from related micro blogs.

Can I trust your blog? We trust those we know. A link to the backstory or blog post helps a lot.
Journos contacted me to find Twitterers/Flickrers and bloggers in Mumbai. *shrugs* I shoulda sent them to a fake account? :)
71% of Australians don't trust what they read in a newspaper, 65% don't trust what they read online (Roy Morgan)
I got ZERO news from Australian MSM - I channel hopped (I only have free to air) all day. From 9:30 to 3pm I got Kerri Anne and childrens telly. And nothing on news breaks that I hadn't got hours earlier from Twitter online. Six Oclock evening news looked like a retweet of breaking news all day. ABC occasionally came up with something interesting but for the rest of them, disgraceful coverage. If TV's role is to inform, and if that were their only role, they failed.
I don't trust everything that comes through Twitter, but I can quickly discern who/what/where it's coming from based on the relationships. Contextually that makes it MORE trustworthy for me, than CNN reports claiming that the Mumbai bombings was an Anti American activity (in spite of the fact it was mostly Indians that were targetted). MSM is shameful in both denying proper uptodate coverage and in making assumptions based on what they think the audience wants to hear.
TweetGrid let me connect to Mumbai live bloggers UltraBrown and Arunshanbhag and Flickr (like @vinu) and the mumbai twitterers who are compiling a list of known dying/dead/missing on Google Docs.
Truth in journalism comes from numbers. Not from sticking a station microphone in front of a local who then goes home to blog/twitter in more detail what happened.
