Sandy - journalism 2.0

Benjamin Lowy for TIME - Sandy in New York

Wow...I must admit...I am impressed. At first I was rather annoyed by all fake photos, which went viral via social media like Twitter and Facebook, but now...now the storm is near..

TIME asked 5 photographers to report from New York City. It looks like most photos are taken with a smartphone.

Also Instagram is flooded (what's in a name) with Sandy pics, and I must say: impressive. This is what we should call 'photography 2.0' or better said: 'news 2.0'!
