Could have done better
USA Today has a story on television news' coverage of the tsunami. It quotes Bob Woodruff of ABC as saying that journalists were slow to grasp the significance of the tragedy.
We didn't react fast enough either. While we have played wire service stories about the disaster on the front page since it happened, we didn't do nearly enough to describe the impact on those locally who have friends and family in the region and those who want to help. We had smaller than normal staffing during Christmas week and other stories to cover, and it simply got past us. We're trying to catch up now.
