Twitter

I found the article "Mom's tweet as Son was Dying Stirs Debate" to be very interesting. It is amazing how much controversy can result from one tweet.

Last semester I took a theology class on Christianity and the Media and I think this article provides a perfect example of how religion is intermingling with media. The mother posted a tweet asking everyone to pray for her son. I think by posting such a request online many people were able to know what happened and more apt to pray for her son.
