When people say, "oh breaking on Twitter, or broke on Twitter" I'd say 99.9% discussion is started when someone like Sky, BBC, Reuters or PA post a tweet. I wish the own news orgs would realise this also.

Nice touch on the Sky paper review, looking at the front pages of some Arabic newspapers.

I assume they had a reviewer who could read Arabic?

I'm listening to Radio 4's Media Show. Very interesting discussion regarding Sky and BBC's recent coverage of Libya. If you can bear to be without any visual stimulation for 30 mins, give it a listen on i-player. Should pop up on there shortly after 14:00hrs.

Doesn't seem to be available on iPlayer yet. BBC correspondent just reported on the radio that an ITN reporter had an AK47 put in his face, but was luckily okay and the incident ended "amicably".

Timeline of events of the last hour from Matthew Chance on Twitter:

Quote:
330p local time: Negotiating with guards for our release. They said we can leave, but in small groups. #rixos

We are expecting the ICRC and Chinese embassy to send cars to pick us up. Fingers crossed. #rixos, #rixos4

4:00p local time: Pandemonium in lobby of hotel, all going back upstairs. Another anti- climax? #rixos

410p local time: After a heart to heart with Arab speaking journos, two Gadhafi guards disarmed. #rixos

415p local time: This feels like the end game in this dramatic and unpleasant situation. #rixos

Running across upper floors of hotel to find a flag with TV written on it. They want to put it on the car. #rixos

BBC cars arrives at #rixos, BBC crew is leaving the hotel.

436pm local time: BBC has left the hotel

437pm local time: ICRC cars have arrived at the hotel.

438pm local time: Now pulling out of #rixos hotel after 6 days of a complete nightmare. Still dodgy situation

439pm local time: Crammed with other journos in the car. Reuters, other cameramen, FOX, and AP #rixos

We have been holed up together for what seems like an eternity. We could finally get out freedom!!! #rixos

I can see the NTC rebels. We are nearly there!

#Rixos crisis ends. All journalists are out! #rixos
