This article is an article about how a tumblr user/guardian journalist has decided to 'retire' from his tumblr blog of funeral selfies due to the infamous Obama selfie at Nelson Mandela's funeral ceremony. The journalist states that as soon as it was released on twitter/instagram that his twitter followers quickly tweeted him about the incident. The journalist states that his blog consists of many teens posing at funerals and that he didn't expect world leaders to do such a thing.
My opinion on this is that it was incredibly disrespectful for the world leaders to have done such a thing but they did do it as a photo of celebration of the life of Nelson Mandela. The new and digital media angle on this is how global followers all tweeted the same journalist about this event and that he posted the photo a.s.a.p with the rise of new and digital media we are able to communicate so much more faster.
