I collected all the newspaper articles and reports I could find on the Moscow Bombings over the period of a few days. After the initial bombing, webpages were updated and there were hundreds of articles, 'tweets' and postings that were changing and updated constantly. After a while, the updates started to slow down. Priorities in the news began to change.
Images were also constantly repeated in news articles, the majority of them were documented using mobile phones, as obviously people on the train most probably did not have digital slr cameras so they took quick, pix-elated imaged on their phones. The professional images were all taken outside the station. The images were used over and over again so you become desensitized to them, despite the fact that some of the image content was quite shocking and shows images of people inside the trains who were injured, and blood stains on the floors as hundreds of people push to leave the station.
The video footage I found was all taken on mobile phones and all quite blurry, which makes it harder to decipher the content. This reduces the impact the videos have as even though the content may be shocking, the video is very pix elated and it is hard to make out.
