Communicating Disasters: An Asia-Pacific resource book edited by Nalaka Gunawardene & Frederick Noronha UNDP/TVE-Asia Pacific, 2007 Communicating Disasters explores the role of media professionals and their use of information and communication technologies, particularly following the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 and the Kashmir earthquake of 2005. Case studies, incisive analyses and evocative narratives highlight the challenges of covering disasters and their aftermath – both immediate and long-term. Tips on how to literally 'unearth' stories, ethical guidelines on how to reduce the vulnerability of victims, and the tracing of links between gender and disaster – all of these potentially dry topics are presented here in simple, accessible language. Superb photographs also make up for the somewhat confusing layout and unnecessary appendices. (Laxmi Murthy) vjp
