#4069: Performance of journalists: A comment
From:Jetphire@aol.com
Another thing to keep in mind when reading press stories from Haiti is that
they have been edited by people who are not in Haiti for the sake of SELLING
the story. There are many wonderful stories written about Haiti that never
make it to the mainstream press or the wire services-even positive stories.
Newspapers are about making money and selling stories, and with Haiti the
topics of violence, poverty, and political controversy seem to be the most
lucrative subjects.
