I noted in an earlier post that Haiti was among the countries that we at Global Voices have generally found it difficult to cover. Before the earthquake, citizen and social media activity inside Haiti was sporadic. Since January 12, however, we’ve published 24 fine articles focused directly on the citizen media activity taking place within Haitian borders, dozens of links to Haiti-related content and several more articles highlighting reactions to the earthquake from countries like Dominican Republic, Japan, Bangladesh, Brazil, Russia and Guatemala.

My role in the coverage has been quite minimal. After posting the first article, setting up a Twitter list of people posting from the ground in Haiti and a Google group to streamline the lively conversation that began almost instantly, the team grabbed the reins. I participated in the discussions and shared the occasional link, but it’s Janine, Nicholas, Marc and Fabienne who’ve really taken the Haiti story and run with it. Even as I sit here in Port-au-Prince trying to figure things out, I’m depending on my colleagues to help me make sense of the reams that have written about the country in the past two weeks. I’m very grateful to them, both for their outstanding work, and for making me—yet again—so proud of the work we do.
