Sandy's aftermath

The media has done an excellent job covering Sandy. Reporters from all disciplines seem to have gotten to every corner of the island, even the rural areas. The news channels were running all day, and social media also proved effective in keeping people up-to-date. Effective media is so important in emergencies like this as it provides comfort and cohesion to people who are scared and unsure of what to do next. A friend of mine who works at the Gleaner (the main newspaper) told me that their reporters worked around the clock to get the stories out. They even have bunkbeds at the newspaper’s main office. Big up to the media! This footage is from the Gleaner (click the title above for a link to some footage of Sandy’s aftermath).
