Haiti: Following along in the news
Things aren't getting much better yet in Haiti, aid workers are struggling to get to Port-au-Prince and rescuers are trying desperately to pull survivors from the rubble. So what are the best sources of information out there?
We've got a Haiti Earthquake group where we'll be posting stories - and where you can post stories you find.
Global Voices has a quake page rounding up blogs from the region, some even from inside of Haiti itself.
On Twitter there are a few solid lists you can follow - I've been following the NY Times Haiti list. Additionally, Richard Morse is in Haiti and has been tweeting about it extensively: @RAMhaiti.
If you're looking for how to make a donation, The Daily Beast has made a list of the most effective NGOs at work in the country.
On television the best coverage I've seen by far has been CNN.
What other sources out there are you watching?
