Reporting from the Haiti quake

Friend Katz, last mentioned here in the blog, is AP's man in Haiti. When you click on Yahoo's lead tonight, you are clicking into his story. When you click on any story about Haiti tonight, his reporting is at the heart.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – The strongest earthquake in more than 200 years rocked Haiti on Tuesday, collapsing a hospital where people screamed for help and heavily damaging the National Palace, U.N. peacekeeper headquarters and other buildings. U.S. officials reported bodies in the streets and an aid official described "total disaster and chaos."

Horribly sad for a country that's already suffered so much. You can follow Katz's reporting everywhere but more closely here or here.

  1. Katz's first-person account of the quake | Patrick Cooper: Greetings from Evanston, Ill. says:

    [...] Amid his reporting yesterday and more stories today, Jonathan filed a first-person story on experiencing the quake and the aftermath. It's a must-read. Thanks to fellow Daily friend Vivi for posting the link on Fb. PETIONVILLE, Haiti (AP) — I was sitting on my bed surfing the Internet when I noticed silence, followed by a weird groaning sound. I figured it was a passing water truck. But funny, I thought — sounds more like an earthquake. [...]
