Traditional news media were handcuffed (figuratively at least) during the crackdown at Zuccotti Park, where the Occupy movement began. News from the scene got out anyway via new social media tools like Storify, according to the ReadWriteWeb blog. "The raw power of citizen media — and the future of news envisioned by a site called Storify - thwarted the media blackout." More from Poynter and a Knight Center blog.
