Some reporters are better than others in describing the sorrow, but no one can fully explain it unless they experienced it firsthand or had family affected by it. I agree that a way to show this would be to include quotes. A local point of view would be extremely beneficial to the article. He seemed to have included a lot of technical news, but he needed quotes to capture the whole situation.

The use of quotes or interviews from actual residents would of created more emotion for us readers who did not experience or see the Earthquake. It is imporant for everyone to realize what is occuring on in the world when it comes to weather tradegies. Since global warming and the atmoshpere keeps changing, incidents that are occuring in other countries could happen to us in the future. We need more than just the basic information of what occured and more of what the residents did to prevent damagae or where they went or what they were feeling when the weather took a bad turn. Maybe if we knew more of what the residents were feeling or going though that others world wide would contribute. I agree with your opinion and also think this is an important article. thanks for sharing sarah Hi there,

The article I read was about a Saudi oil ship getting captured by pirates and the writer didn't interview any Saudi people, but he did interview lots of other people. I think that the article could have definitely benefited from having the local view point in mine, and I agree that the article you read would also have been better with it as well.
