Columbia journalism professor Sree Sreenivasanm is hosting webcast reports by Journalists and experts in Mumbai and in the U.S. on the attack. A Jewish community center in Mamba, Nariman House, home to the Orthodox Jewish group Chabad Lubavitch, was also attacked. The identity of the attackers is unconfirmed; early reports identify one as Pakastani and possibly others may hold British passports.

It’s fascinating to watch the way technology makes it possible for journalists to collaborate from different cities and outside of news organizations to organize an internet news bureau to report on a subject in real time. The next webcast is scheduled this morning at 10AM and then again tonight at 10PM.
