New York Daily News - Ideas & Opinions - Lenore Skenazy: An earthquake and now, winter: "An earthquake and now, winter
Even in natural disasters, timing is key. For though there is never a good time for death and destruction, the world responds more generously if the crisis strikes during a slow news week.
Consider the response to the tsunami, which occurred on Dec. 26 - slowest news day of the year. With schools and businesses closed, people stayed home watching TV and what they saw opened their hearts - and wallets. Weeping parents. Lifeless children. World Vision, a U.S.-based Christian relief agency, received pledges of $75 million."
