The cover story is available on the Us magazine website, and the epaper of The News (3 August 2012).
The story also had a section of 'Twitter Timeline' originally, containing a small selection of tweets from the #socmm12 hashtag, which could not be published in print due to lack of space, and which I am now posting on the blog:
