THE BOSTON MARATHON BOMBINGS
abcde STORY 2
THE VOICE OF THE CITY Coverage from April 15 through April 20, 2013 Beginning with the words “God help us,” tweeted from the Boston Marathon finish line by Boston.com producer Steve Silva within minutes of the April 15 explosions, the Globe maintained a liveblog over five days, culminating with the capture of the second bomber on the evening of April 19. The blog contained posts from Globe reporters, photographers, and online producers, as well as selected tweets from law enforcement, other media outlets, and members of the community documenting the unfolding story. When Boston.com and BostonGlobe.com crashed from the initial surge of traffic, the Globe redirected viewers to the liveblog for about an hour. That week, the liveblog became the most comprehensive and up-todate source of information on the bombings, garnering 6.6 million pageviews and 3.2 million visits over the course of the week. Here are some excerpts; the entire liveblog can be seen by clicking the link below. http://b.globe.com/liveblog
