Ep 72 - Newsroom Habits of Mind

What lies hidden after the Nepal horrorThe world has never seen news vision quite like the footage that came out of Nepal .. stunning in its horror as violent death in ice and rock thundered through the lives of those poor souls, those villages and valleys.But what are we not hearing and seeing?

Did any media step up to mention those ugly traits in their coverage? Errr .. no.And sometimes those pithy internet memes nail it.
