Today's story is an update Today I am going to discuss the recent quake in Indonesia. On May 27 a 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck the ancient city of Yogyakarta in Indonesia. An initial estimate of 3000 casualties has more than doubled to 6234 as I write this. It will probably go up further. The news media tends to hit disasters hard in the first few days and then to soften up on coverage and begin to focus elsewhere. This is almost universally true. In any event, just because the news media starts to focus elsewhere doesn’t necessarily mean that the aftermath of a disaster like this quake is complete. Far from it.
