7 July 2005 London bombings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just to show the fluid nature of news now, check out Wikipedia's reporting on the London Attacks. Not only is it up to the minute, it's links are direct-to-source. This is mass reporting at its finest. Each source is numbered and linked either after the quote, or at the end of the paragraph. You can find the text of Tony Blair's speech, a quote and link to the Mayor of London's speech, pertinent phone numbers for those who need information, those in emergency situations, and links to the major media outlets and transportation authorities.

This is Wiki at its finest.
This is news.
