Earthquake coverage
My mother has the tv permanently on Geo, which is providing excellent coverage.
I was curious to know about the online coverage that we’d been getting – the first site I hit was cnn.com obviously, which is brilliant as always, we were right there on the top right.
Dawn had really awful, two three-line vague stories about it half an hour ago, but they’re now updated their page to include a little bit more. BBC was a disappointment of sorts too, and Geo has terrible online coverage. Jang’s The News is surprisingly slightly better. The Associated Press has by far the best coverage – they provided the story that CNN bought. Also, that link has a list of recent earthquakes across the world – recent as in over the past week, and that’s just…bizarre.
However, ALL the pakistani sites claim no casualties, while CNN reports – “Police in the Pakistani city of Lahore said at least eight people were injured and four shops were damaged.”
