Fire in Australia
Spread all around social media through images people took which then s hares through a hashtag
Instagram and twitter were used to spread the awareness for donations

the news story was reported on BBC traditionally on TV and was a headline on the news for weeks now

People record the fires and took videos of them saving animals and posting images on twitter

This image appeared on the independent but it was from a firefighter who saved several kowalas in the fire.

People shared this story around and therefore people saw what was happening to the animals therefore it caused people to donate
