“According to NAHJ, a search of 22 “major” daily newspapers from Oct. 7-10 using the Lexis-Nexis database found that a total of 10 stories ran about the tragedy and only one newspaper, the Washington Post, put a story about the disaster on its front page.

The network evening news devoted a total of four stories to the Guatemalan mudslides from Oct.7-9, although three were mere mentions of fewer than 50 words, NAHJ said.”
