George Mason University and the Use of Social Media in the Case of Abdirashid Dahir

April 3, 2011 · 2 Comments

A recent post by Mindy McAdams about the use of timelines in journalism had me wanting to try out the idea. I thought the recent case of George Mason student Abdirashid Dahir would lend itself to a timeline. How quickly events happened after the Sarah Evans Facebook post would help to show the power of Social Media. This was a way for me to try out the concept, it is not comprehensive and I welcome any suggestions, additions, and corrections on the comments section below.

    Thank you for using Dipity embed. YOu can adjust the size of the embed to make it fit a bit better into your site. It looks like the edge is cut off a bit!
