Reuters leads with fast, powerful coverage of Haiti disaster

Reuters has provided fast, insightful, colorful coverage of the unfolding disaster in Haiti since the powerful magnitude 7.0 quake struck last Tuesday afternoon, inflicting a devastating blow to the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Reuters has mobilized 20 people on the ground in Port-au-Prince leading stellar coverage that has gained attribution and praise from some of the biggest media organizations around the globe. In the first few hours, when many were struggling to find what was happening Reuters reporting was fast, detailed and powerful. Reuters was first with video of the devastation caused by the Haiti earthquake and the first TV facility set up at the airport. Very shortly following the breaking news, we had on-the-spot reporting phoned in by experienced Haitian stringer Joseph Guyler Delva as soon as he could get a phone connection.
