Focus on Haiti?

28Jan10

A few weeks later, the earthquake in Haiti is no longer the head news story in the media. We have seen this often throughout the history of the media. It seems that there is always a new news story taking over the limelight. It is still so important that the news focuses on this event. Newspapers have put articles about this situation further away from cover stories, but Haitians still need our help.

In a crisis such as this recent event, it is important that the media continues to seriously cover updates on the situation. Lack of news coverage on the situation will decrease awareness that help in Haiti is still needed. It is important for the public to remember, this crisis does not end when the media coverage dies down, thats only when the crisis is just beginning. We must continue to help support the people of Haiti after this situation is no longer in the news media.
