"I have always loved capturing the world in words"

New York Times 2/16

I am surprised that with all this coverage on Haiti, that it hasn't become an over covered topic, at least for me. The new angles of the story that the Times is coming up with makes it a rounder, more whole of a story. Rather than just reporting stories about one other family that was rescued, or one other child that is now orphaned, which of course, we feel sorry for, but after a while, it is not a story anymore. The Times, today covering the missionaries who have come to Haiti, have found a new angle that is still relevant, but not hackneyed. I think that revisiting a story is necessary, as long as there is a new angle, and it isn't the same story over and over.
