A variety of Coverage from Beth's Blog
Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media: BlogHers Act and Other Ways to Help Myanmar Cyclone Victims: "Cyclone Nargis hit Myanmar last weekend devastating five regions. Channel NewsAsia reported that more than 22,000 people are dead with another 41,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands are now homeless. The media reports are horrific. 'Witnesses described images of rice field littered with corpses.' Save the Children, one of the few relief agencies allowed to operate in-country, said the toll would rise sharply in the coming days as more victims were found in difficult to reach areas.
The photos, videos, and blog reports are giving us vivid citizen accounts. Global Voices, South Asia Editor, Mong Palatino, offers this round up of what blogs in the region are reporting, including these eye witness accounts."
