Three years ago Mr. Lehmann introduced the Class of 2013 to a man named Andy Carvin. When first introducing himself, Carvin at first simply stated that he was a reporter/journalist. Later on during his talk with us he touched on how he uses social media to become connected to the world. His main source of “reporting” is Twitter. He claimed that it was the best form to spread the word of what is happening in foreign countries. When the Libyan revolution was just starting, videos were posted to Facebook from people actually experiencing the revolution. Carvin took those videos and used Twitter for everyone else to see the videos which helped gain attention to what was happening in Libya.
