News Coverage of the Crisis in Japan.

It was definitely interesting to check out this website for a large overview of the news coverage on of the crisis in Japan on March 12th. (http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/default_archive.asp?fpArchive=031211) For the most part a lot of newspapers kept to the general description of the shocking devastation across Japan. I think that some of the coverage was not as specific because they are headlines from the day of the Tsunami so it was hard to cover initially. Some papers like the Daily News-Miner and the Imperial Valley Press only dedicated a section to Japan on the front cover, no picture or anything. I think that the covers that featured a large photo of Japan were the most moving. Seeing such destruction from almost a whole world away really brings the tragedy home. It's hard to imagine that in just two minutes, an earth quake can wipe away every part of your life that you know. Your house, school, stores, friends and family, entire villages. It really puts things into perspective.
