I think journalists ought to, as a general practice, provide links as you have done so that readers can contact people involved in solving the problems or helping out in the disasters. <BR/>In one of the classes I teach we talked about the organizational demands required to put together relief and evacuation plans, and then we started talking about how many people had been harmed by the hurricanes. My students were under the impression that few people had died and that the devastation wasn't especially terrible, and I would have shared their views if I had depended only upon what I happened to read and hear on my own, but since I'd read your blog post, I knew about Haiti and Cuba, and I told them about the devastation in Haiti.Eric Hadley-Iveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07349423480178819276noreply@blogger.com
