"A year ago, Tim Pool traveled to New York to see the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations for himself. On a whim, he came from Virginia with only a smartphone and a battery pack. Pool, who worked as a community outreach director at a non-profit, then began live-streaming the protests and clashes with NYPD.\nPool quickly gained followers to his channels on Ustream and Twitter where he reported on what was happening at the time in Zuccatti Park. He became a source of information for the outside world by covering what was happening as it happened and soon received the title \"citizen journalist\" \u2014 though that's not exactly what he'd call himself.\n\nSEE ALSO: How One Occupy Broadcaster Is Changing News Coverage With Tech\n\"I never even considered myself a journalist until people told me I was,\" Pool told Mashable. \"It was for myself. I wasn't putting it on YouTube.\"\nMuch of Pool's coverage was syndicated by major media outlets and TIME named him \"The Media Messenger of Zuccotti Park.\" He told Mashable that he wasn't looking for attention, but rather was trying to figure out the movement's intentions for himself.\nPool has covered the movement since the original demonstrations last year. He was in New York earlier this week covering what was the one year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street's beginning. In recognition of the event, Ustream has put together an Occupy Wall Street \"most-memorable live-broadcast streams\" which include some of Pool's reporting:\nProtesters take orange net from NYPD and Tim Pool yells: \"Tonight belongs to occupy wall street.\"\n\nThe Police Did What?
