University of California-Berkeley journalism Prof. Paul Grabowicz summarizes a news event over Seattle in which citizen bloggers photographed with camera phones the rapid decompression at 30,000 feet of an Alaska Airlines MD-80 after a baggage handler tore a hole in the fuselage just before takeoff. Grabowicz suggests that newspapers consider creating new editing positions to manage "citizen journalist" contributions.
