The Wall Street Journal is the only representaitve of establishment media that I get much regular exposure to, and even that I don't make a point of reading daily. Almost all the other news I'm exposed to (and this is sad, I know) comes from my LJ friends page.

I was looking over the WSJ coverage of the tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia. They had an article on blog opinions of the disaster, and one quote caught my eye:

On the Web site of the Poynter Institute, a journalism watchdog, Jill Geisler wonders how much time, money and effort the U.S. media will invest in covering a disaster that took place on the other side of the world. "Will this story get as much coverage as the Scott Peterson case?"

( Scott Peterson? )
( Tsunami )
