I learn so much from this book and I appreciate so much of the writer’s idea of this book. A lot of times things go viral because of the short life span of social media and how fast it needs to capture people’s attention, but in reality there’s so much more to that. That’s why we need responsible news not fast news. This book provides so much perspective in the events leading up to the tragedy and the actual event in different people’s perspective and most important, how people would like to change.
