Bangalore Bomb Blast and Tracking India's News
Banaglore is located in Southeastern India is home to India's technology sector. Bangalore has been nicknamed the Silicon Valley of India, and it was not affected by the bomb blasts.
The Need To Know and Breaking News
People are scrambling to find out more about the bomb blasts, and to find information on who may be responsible. One question that crops up in these situations is, "Why?" In an attempt to better understand the situation, people turn to news sources for information. Information in a time of crisis seems to ground people, and take them out of panic mode.
Planned acts of violence leave a general population feeling insecure and scared. One of the ways to keep people from going into panic mode is to provide them with information. While the 911 attacks and the fall of the Twin Towers news coverage by U.S. TV media bordered on sensational, other organizations were providing non-emotional, factual information about terrorism, Afghanistan, the architecture of the Twin Towers, and how to talk to children about tragedies and terrorism.
