Haiti News Organizations Reporting
As someone who often derides traditional media organizations, ie, for getting it so wrong on Iraq and the housing bubble, one thing I – as someone who writes mostly in his pajamas – have always marveled at is how some newspapers are able to stay on their feet and keep printing through a disaster. The Wall Street Journal kept its presses going in the aftermath of September 11, despite having its main offices severely damaged. The Times- Picayune in New Orleans was also able to get its issues out (in PDF files) in the days that followed Hurricane Katrina.Following the devastation that befell Haiti last week after a massive earthquake, some Haitian media organizations are continuing to report. Le Nouvelliste, a French-language daily, is continually updating its website. Likewise, several radio stations are back on the air. And Agence-France Presse is still filing stories from a rented space after its office was destroyed last week.
