How Twitter & BlackBerrys are affecting the political culture in Ottawa

The Ryerson Review of Journalism has a good article about how blogs, twitter, social media, and BlackBerrys are affecting political coverage in Ottawa. And it includes this great line:

In an Ottawa where BlackBerrys are unholstered and placed on tables like guns in a spaghetti western, the ubiquity of smartphones has changed how the news is produced, consumed and digested."
