The 7.4 magnitude quake hit Guatemala’s border near Mexico yesterday. At least forty-eight people are dead several dozens are still missing. San Marcos was hit the worst out of anywhere. The only place that still has electricity is the hospital. Everyone is trying to get inside there because there is “blankets” of snow everywhere and everyone is freezing.

Obviously this is newsworthy because it is a natural disaster. It always helps to report on natural disasters because it may make people go to the disaster zone and help. This is a very long article, but it keeps you captivated to the very end, well it did for me anyways. I thought it was written well.

  • Disaster reporting also allows those not involved to say, Gee, I’m glad that didn’t happen to me.” Cynical, to be sure.
