One viewer’s take on tsunami coverage

January 2nd, 2005 · No Comments

The Tribune-Review has a letter to the editor Sunday wherein the writer expresses his belief that the American media has done a poor job of covering the situations of those who actually live in the tsunami-destroyed areas, rather than tourists, stating that “very little in-depth coverage has been provided on anyone who actually lived in these areas.”

What do you think? Are reporters and producers making a mistake when they stick to the stories of those living in this country (or elsewhere in the West), thinking they are creating relevance? Or has the coverage been even-handed across the board, and this is an extreme case?
