Disasters – Relying On Media Is Not Wise
I think it is a mistake to rely on visual and print media for information about the various disasters affecting our planet. When I was taking a holiday in one of the best hotels in Looe, I was horrified by the repeated images of the Japan disaster. The nuclear plant in Japan had suffered a catastrophic due to the earthquake and the tsunami.
However, I now see news channels focusing on the volcano eruption in Chile. Nobody cares for the problem that continues in Japan. Nobody is interested since there is no scope for a massive explosion that will cause nuclear material to be propelled into the atmosphere.
The Japanese have got a semblance of control over the crisis and are slowly trying to overcome the problem. There is no big story waiting to happen for the newspapers and that is why they do not care. This does not mean the disaster has ended, right? It is now that the Japanese need our support more than ever. To ignore it simply because you don’t see images on the television would be a very insensitive act.
Thankfully, the internet serves as a medium where people can interact directly with each other without any intermediaries. This is a smart move because it will help focus the concern and convert the same into action. This will provide real relief to all those who were affected by the crisis. Contacting people who are in need of assistance and providing the same through the internet will be a great way of doing something tangible to tackle the crisis.
