Many of you probably have heard about the recent deadly earthquake in China. I was looking at some photographs of the situation on the New York Times website. I came across this photograph of two boys trapped in the rubble. The caption for this photo is "Boys trapped under a collapsed building awaited rescue"
This photo of these two boys who are not being helped by the photographer reminds me of artist Banky's rendition of a similar theme:
Let's stop treating people--especially children--like news stories. They are humans--who are suffering and need assistance more than they need glamor shots.

Peggy Noonan, always a personal favorite of mine, has an interesting take on the dissemination of information in our culture.
