One Day In Port-Au-Prince

Disasters generate a great deal of images. The earthquake in Haiti last January was no different. This project by AlertNet stands out as one of the better pieces. Why? It credits the audience with some intelligence by presenting a selection of diverse (12) stories in all their complexity. It does not preach, manipulate or push corporate NGO messages down your throat. All good things. It even allows you to send messages to those people featured, though I am not sure what purpose that serves? Any way…
