March 3 New York Times
All the reports seem to be repeats of the reports in Haiti. They were already stretching for stories about Haiti, and now that the earthquake has happened in Chile, it's like the same stories are going to be told, except replacing a few names and the country Chile with Haiti's name. I was particularly impressed with the article about the young girl who was molested in India, and how this incident is causing the "middle class to take on the powerful" This article is so effective because it is not only an article about a young girl being molested in India (which is newsworthy by itself) but it goes one step further by making a comment on the social system of India and how crimes like this happen all the time but no one can do anything because of their class system.
