Jonathan is a good guy, thanks for the interview. Slight correction though - he's not the only American journalist permanently based in Haiti. I moved here last September, lived through the quake and I'm still here, looking for a new house since my old one has to be demolished.

Jon, it's here: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/stevecoll/2010/01/earthquakes-and-journalism.html

I was wondering - do you have a link to where Steve Coll spoke about the progression of disaster coverage? I could not find it anywhere on the web. Thanks!

Thanks for this interview. I wish there had been more compassion for the loss of people, instead of the slapstick comment about losing contacts. I can't imagine the personal devastation of having many friends and acquaintances lost at once. A simple "I'm sorry for your loss" was also missing.

Excellent story.

Here is the link to Steve Coll's original blog post, "Earthquakes and Journalism", on the New Yorker web site: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/stevecoll/2010/01/earthquakes-and-journalism.html

Sustainable fish farming - here is a link to what started in Southeast Asia and was tailored for tilapia Haiti

I work with some students from Haiti at a community college and this story is actually quite refreshing. I do hope he can tell us about what Wyclif Jean and Bill Clinton and Woods Hole Oceanographic will be doing int he rebuilding process. Sustainable (periphyton-based) low-resource fish farming is what Woods Hole has been doing in the countryside, not in the city. Looking forward to seeing Jonathan's stories about those sort of things over the coming years.
