Twittering @Madagascar
Because of restrictions, the political crisis in the island nation of Madagascar hasn’t been covered much by the global media. So those who want to follow the ongoing struggle have turned to other sources? like Twitter. The Takeaway talks to two young men who are using the micro-blogging service to compile and follow breaking news from Madagascar. We are joined by Aaron Dibner-Dunlap, a student at Columbia University who used to work in Madagascar.
