在本文中，我们研究了在武装冲突中生活在城市中的人们的信息共享实践。我们描述了四个受墨西哥毒品战争影响的城市在Twitter上的微博活动的数量和频率，展示了公民如何使用社交媒体互相提醒，并对困扰他们社区的暴力事件发表评论。然后，我们调查了公民媒体“策展人”的出现，这些人通过在社交媒体上向大量人群聚集和传播信息，充当“战地记者”。最后，我们概述了我们的观察对战时公民媒体系统设计的影响。
In this paper we examine the information sharing practices of people living in cities amid armed conflict. We describe the volume and frequency of microblogging activity on Twitter from four cities afflicted by the Mexican Drug War, showing how citizens use social media to alert one another and to comment on the violence that plagues their communities. We then investigate the emergence of civic media "curators," individuals who act as "war correspondents" by aggregating and disseminating information to large numbers of people on social media. We conclude by outlining the implications of our observations for the design of civic media systems in wartime.
