WordPress.com Bloggers Who Covered the Biggest News Stories of 2011

December 5, 2011

Erica

As 2011 comes to end, we thought it’d be interesting to look back at the events that made headlines this year, and a few of the bloggers who were there in person (or closely connected to the events) to document history in the making. Here’s a recap of some of the biggest news stories of the year, as blogged by WordPress.com users.

January 25: Tens of thousands of people take to the streets of Cairo and other Egyptian cities to demand an end to the rule of President Hosni Mubarak.

Cairo-based journalist Max Strasser reported on the events from Istanbul. Marilyn Gardner posted updates on the situation after speaking with her daughter, who was living in Egypt for school.

March 11: Japan is hit with an 8.9-magnitude earthquake, the strongest in its history.

The author of Amblerangel.WordPress.com was at a grocery store in Shibuya-ku when it happened. She recounted the experience in We’re Being Shaken and Stirred in Japan. According to Liz Tagami, who was at Narita International Airport when the quake hit, “It started as a silent rolling wave.”

June 24: New York legalizes same-sex marriage, becoming the largest state in the U.S. to pass the law. It goes into effect thirty days later on July 24, 2011.

TalkAboutEquality.WordPress.com was on site at the New York City Clerk’s office to chat with the couples who lined up for marriage licenses, as documented in the post Thousands of New Yorkers Put a Ring on It. In August, Jacob Murphy shared photographs of a pop-up chapel ceremony in New York City’s Columbus Circle.

July 9: South Sudan becomes the world’s newest nation after seceding from Sudan.

Uganda-based photographer Will Boase was there to capture the celebration, which he blogged about in Happy Birthday South Sudan.

July 20: WordPress.com blogger discovers a fake Apple store in Kunming, China.

The author of BirdAbroad.WordPress.com published pictures of the store in a post titled Are You Listening, Steve Jobs?, which quickly caught the attention of major news outlets around the world.

September 11: Americans remember 9/11, ten years later.

In the post 3,652 Days Later, Dale Roe of Project 2,996 declared, “Take this day, not to remember mass murder, but to remember the 2,996 people who are loved and missed.” The project uses WordPress.com to organize tributes to the victims of 9/11. Amalie Flynn was just blocks away from the Twin Towers on 9/11. She started SeptemberEleventh.WordPress.com on 9/11/2010 and posted every day last year.

October: The Occupy Wall Street movement gains momentum.

Terrell Starr visited New York’s Financial District to document the demonstration. Many Occupy movements like Occupy Oakland, Occupy London, Occupy Albany, and Occupy Together use the WordPress open source software or WordPress.com to power their web sites.

November 18: UC Davis campus police pepper spray nonviolent protestors, sparking outrage.

The next day, Nathan Brown, an Assistant Professor at UC Davis, wrote an Open Letter to Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi, demanding that the school’s chancellor resign.

    What I find fascinating about this article, and its timing, is that it comes hot on the heels of word that the U.S. has fallen behind on Information. Clearly, the mainstream has lost and it’s the people and commitments that you mentioned on your list that are turning how we gather and process our information, our news, our reporting of events and perspectives completely on its ear. And for that, I am thrilled beyond belief. It’s only going to get better.

    You asked to leave links to covering a notable event, and living in Niagara Falls, NY I was at the Falls with my camera for the first gay, group wedding to be officiated at the Falls. http://gardenwalkgardentalk.com/2011/07/25/niagara-falls-a-kiss-and-a-vow/

    It was a beautiful affair on a rainy day that turned to sun right as the vows were being performed. That can be seen in my images of exchanging the rings. It is similar to the the post you noted, but it was a very big deal for our area, reestablishing our area as a world noted wedding capital. I was an event televised and seen by many, and I posted it immediately after the event.

To us, the event was as big as the revolutions in Libya and Egypt to the Libyans and Egptians, and even bigger than the discovery of an Apple rip-off outlet in China. You would be most welcome to come and have a look for yourself. Ten months after the event we are still cleaning up.

    I wrote a post about the last space shuttle launch at Kennedy Space Center on WP-based Impre.com’s Piensa Digital blog [http://blogs.impre.com/piensa-digital/2011/07/08/exitoso-lanzamiento-de-atlantis-marca-fin-al-programa-de-transbordadores-espaciales/], and uploaded pics and embedded videos on my ElMundoTech blog here on WordPress.com [http://wp.me/pi7rs-4v8]. The pictures I took with my Nintendo 3DS were of Mario by the Vehicle Assembly Building at KSC, and Kotaku.com blogged about it [http://kotaku.com/5819677/mario-bids-bon-voyage-to-the-space-shuttle]. Woohoo!!! Others got to write too [http://www.zeldainformer.com/2011/07/mario-in-attendance-to-the-last-space-shuttle-launch.html].

    The West Londoner is an independent web- newspaper:

    A quote from a wordpress.com blog – “The West Londoner is a news site focused on everything west of Westminster within London. Started by Gaz Corfield, a Brunel University journalism student, the site received 1 million pageviews in 24 hours at the height of the London riots of August 2011.”

    Good list. But I definitely think the most historic event of the year was the death of bin Laden. Although my blog is mostly about the American Civil War, when that stunning event occurred, I had to go off topic and write about it. You suggested we post links, so here it is http://historicaldigression.com/2011/05/02/telling-my-daughters-about-bin-laden/

    Excellent format to recap world events for 2011. Tonight news of Kim Jong Il, North Korea’s mercurial and enigmatic longtime leader, who has died of heart failure (He was 69) interrupted reporting live from Iraq by Fox News’s Giraldo Riviero. I have opined on this historic event(s) on my blog. You can view it here – http://wp.me/p1LWhS-7s
