Title: Disease, War, and Famine in the Sudan and Haiti: A Crisis Noticed and a Crisis Ignored
Authors: Whalen, Melissa
Committee Members: Stuart Schwartz
Summary: The media acts as a gatekeeper and decides what material to cover and what not to cover. In order to better understand why one disaster receives media coverage and another crisis is virtually unnoticed by the media, the motives behind covering one story over another is analyzed in this study. Three major American newspaper articles concerning the Haitian earthquake and the crisis in Darfur are examined in order to discover the media's motives for covering Haiti over Darfur.
