One piece of news that has gotten a lot of publicity lately has been the earthquake that occurred in Haiti. I feel that this story show how the coverage of news has changed, and how the expansion of technology has allowed people to help. This earthquake has gathered a lot of. It was the headline of the Sunday paper I received the week it happened. It was also on all of the news shows. This incident could be seen everywhere, news, television, and the Internet. Not only has the huge publicity of this been amazing, but I have also seen many things that even a couple of years ago I would not have seen. I have seen many commercials that are designed to offer help. These commercials allow you to text a word to give a certain donation to the people of Haiti. This charge will be sent to your phone bill. I have also seen Facebook groups that allow you to either donate to the cause, or if you join someone will donate to Haiti. I just find all of these new ways to help out fascinating. The televised news, and Internet is a great way to watch a bunch of different people come together for a common cause. I do not remember seeing this much help go out, even a few years ago. With technology changing at such a rapid pace, I’m sure there will be new ways to help support a cause in no time.
