|
|
www.boston.com/bigpictur...
- Tomorrow will mark three weeks since the massive January 12th earthquake in Haiti, and tent cities remain full, even as some businesses and factories are beginning to reopen in Port-au-Prince.

Aid chiefs and donor nations are warning that Haiti will need at least a decade of painstaking reconstruction. more... () |

- "There were weaknesses in management controls over output, and some on-air persons lack a basic understanding of the critical role that media plays in development.
