Media coverage makes the horrors of Haiti personal for all viewers

Media coverage makes the horrors of Haiti personal for all viewers. This is essential to create rescue action and stimulate donations to help the tragic disaster situations. A cautionary word to letting too much of the event in to your own psyche. You may experience post-traumatic stress just as you might if you were at the scene of the disaster. Your mind needs time-out to help recover from extreme stress, including the media people covering the events. Be wise and protect your children and yourself. Limit all intake of horror, gore, and bad news. Turn off the TV often.
