Helping Haiti: Democracy Now! Improvises.

1

Without the resources of a major network, to get it’s own crews on scene in Port au Prince, Democracy Now! improvised. Emerging technology star Twitter was alive with tweets about Haiti. DN! invited journalist Kim Ives from the Brooklyn office of Haiti Liberté1 to give on air commentary of the latest tweets from his contacts in Haiti. Democracy Now!, the little network that can, has done it, again. The dream of the internet bubble – Convergence.

Today is Sunday, Democracy Now! can’t call up the satellite companies and buy an extra block of time. All today the Democracy Now! blog has had posts from observers in Haiti:

“The Haitian People Have Mobilized, While Foreign Aid Efforts Continue to Stall”

Bill Quigley: “Ten Things the U.S. Can and Should Do For Haiti”

“The Haitian People Have Mobilized, While Foreign Aid Efforts Continue to Stall”

What is NOT new, but a trademark of Democracy Now! since it’s inception is the historical background information including the involvement of the C.I.A. in the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Jean Bertrand Aristede.
