Why being a mainstream media reporter just got a whole lot more dangerous

This video from the Occupy Wall Street protests has been burning up the Social Media landscape and I’m sure will continue to do so. In a nutshell, it’s a great example of how the tables have completely turned on reporters in 2011.

Thanks to Social Media, reporters are now being reported on. (Here’s a longer piece explaining the blow-by-blow of the video below and how it came to life.)

For now, though, I’m fascinated to hear what my friends in the mainstream media think about this, and whether or not it will impact how you do your job in public. (I can’t help but think it’s going to give you pause if you’re a reporter. We/they are not used to being put on the spot in an interview like this and having things flipped around!)
