They Still Love Him!

With Haiti being in the news again (more aftershocks), Channel 3 returned to campus to interview Geology Professor Hank Bart.

KYW Newsradio also interviewed Social Work Professor Donna Fiedler, who studies and treats emotional trauma. She discussed how parents can talk to their children about the tragedy and how seeing the devastation and tragedy can affect viewers young and old.

Several people told me that when they watched TV all they saw was coverage of Haiti. That can't be true, but it probably felt like it. What has the coverage been like? I went to Richard Goedkoop, who studies TV news and broadcasting. He had several insightful comments, which made their way into the Inquirer in today's edition. Here's a link:
