Journalist Dani Madrid criticized this tendency at the media140 conference in Barcelona, saying, "We have turned a country into an object for our own profession...

Noticia de Karma Peiró que resume las principales cuestiones que abordamos en la mesa redonda de media140 "Periodismo en una crisis: tratamiento informativo y redes sociales en la catástrofe de Japón". "Aquesta ha estat la primera catàstrofe al Japó que ha comptat amb una cobertura sobredimensionada. Al congrés Media 140 s'ha analitzat el tractament informatiu i alarmista dels mitjans occidentals i el minimalisme dels japonesos. El punt realista l'han aportat els milers de ciutadans a través de les xarxes socials, el "crowdmapping" i canals de televisió per internet en directe. El ritme de les dades ha deixat menys temps per a la reflexió i per a un periodisme en profunditat."
