Israel Bypasses MSM, Tweets Instead

Last year's death of journalism is leading the Israeli government to resort to more modern forms of mass communication.

Andrew Ian Dodge from Pajamas Media tells us how their message is being pushed through social networking sites like Twitter and YouTube rather than via the MSM outlets who've shown little interest in fair or balanced reporting.

It is clear that this will be the future for many organizations tired of being misrepresented in the press and of prejudiced members of the media always doing them down.

The Twitter feed (or "hashtag") AskIsrael and the YouTube site IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) are the channels being utilized to defend their decisions and to allow open discussion of the current conflict.

A brilliant move by an advanced-thinking leader in the world, of communication.
