DESCRIPTION

The Boston marathon bombings killed three and injured many others. Reporting by citizens reached an apex during this tragedy with many spectators capturing the event with their high definition smartphone cameras and the like. Steve and Ben discuss what this means for the future of reporting. The guys also discuss: 4K cameras are within reach of the consumer, an island in the Coral Sea disappears, and a solar-powered stadium in France, fuelled by algae, begins construction.
