What's the media's report over the Japan's earthquake in your country?
Here, local stations are flooded with words like apocalypse and end of the world.

It's fucking ridiculous

Well, cnn in america right now uses the word "devastation" which seems appropriate.

It was a huge earthquake, a true catastrophic event and I can't imagine what those people are going through.

But it is not the end of the world, you can't say that on the news.
Or maybe we should have some new words invented for the real deal...

PR_Glen · 03-11-2011, 02:24 PM

it grabs more eyes that's why... doesn't matter if it is a big deal or not they jump at the chance... This is a big news story, but read some canadian news sites on it.. check out bbc.. its not as sensational sounding... at least what i have read anyway.

nikki99 · 03-11-2011, 02:26 PM

I am sure the christian channel number 99 is talking about the same

dyna mo · 03-11-2011, 02:26 PM

It's like Godzilla all over again. I sure hope their government is not hiding any problems with those nuclear plants.

Are you serious?
I see no beneficial result in blowing out of proportion (nor trying to diminish) the events, on the news. Do you?

From a Japanese point of view, I was right.

digi · 03-15-2011, 02:36 AM

I wonder whats going on in Libya? haven't heard anything about it since the earthquake hit on cnn.

DWB · 03-15-2011, 02:36 AM

We get some Japanese stations here in Thailand. That's what I'm watching and it's pretty sobering. The western media just grabs bits and pieces.

John-ACWM · 03-15-2011, 02:49 AM

On every news report.

Yes, it certainly is. People are concerned here in Germany, but they are not freaking out.

Interesting reading. Thanks.
This is a disaster for the Japanese people. No doubt about it.
But it seems to me that the nuclear part of the disaster has overshadowed the effects of the tsunami on the thousands who lost their lives or their homes. But it would do that, because the thought of being affected by nuclear fallout makes wider ranging headlines for newspapers across the world.
There's a high element of selfishness in many people's interest in this, but I don't think you can blame them for worrying about how this may affect them personally. It's just a shame that in the media's race to cover this, some reports are blatantly sensationalist and of no use to anyone.
