If the internet had been around in 1985 or 1989...

...would the reporting of Heysel and Hillsborough been any different?

 

Would the existence of this medium, one which would have enabled the experiences of many of the thousands of people caught up in those tragedies to be described almost immediately, have changed the press coverage in any way? Would "The Truth" have been possible in the internet age? Would the one-dimensional coverage of Heysel have happened?

 

I suppose that what I'm asking is whether the internet would have clarified or muddied the story.
