Abstract

The article focuses on the challenges faced by the military paper "Stars and Stripes," the only U.S. daily circulating in Haiti, after the January 12, 2010 earthquake. It cites that the paper needed to find a printer near an air base in South Florida and to wrangle space on emergency supply flights to Haiti. It notes that reporter Megan McCloskey had to scramble to cover the effort of the U.S. military and find electricity and Web access to transmit when the infrastructure of the country was completely ruined.
