Four-paneled figure, with the upper right panel showing Today Show coverage, with both the initial question directed to the @USGSVolcanoes Twitter account from user @JayFurr, “Is it safe to roast marshmallows over volcanic vents?” and the response, “Erm…we’re going to have to say no.” The upper left panel shows CNN coverage with an image of the eruption and the headline “USGS: ‘Please don’t roast marshmallows over lava.’” The lower left panel shows MSNCB coverage, which shows only the initial tweet.
