Bin Laden announcement a victory for traditional media

It may have looked like a social media moment on Sunday night, when Phillies fans began chanting "USA! USA!" at the game, as word spread of the death of Osama bin Laden. But Temple communications professor Christopher Harper says word got out not by social media, but by an old media bulletin: the President on TV. "I think it had passed on from the President's announcement and people who were out and about, not watching television, got it through social media," said Harper. "But, people immediately tuned in to watch television [to] see what was going on, get more information."
