| Abstract | On January 10, 2010, a major earthquake devastated the country of Haiti, resulting in over 300,000 deaths, massive destruction of infrastructure, and a major relief movement. This movement involved the interplay of media, not-for-profit, and government actors. Mainstream media was responsible for telling the story of Haiti, representing the victims, and updating audiences about emergency, relief, and reconstruction efforts. Non-governmental organizations utilized new media to generate one of the largest humanitarian campaigns in recent history. Governments donated military support, offered foreign aid and situated the Haiti story within national and global contexts. Media, NGOs, and governments formed a disaster relief network. The ensuing discourses motivated audiences, set anticipations, and demonstrated needs were being met. This project examines how these institutions cooperated and competed in shaping the relief movement. The rhetorical themes are explored as the narrative of Haiti unfolded into a global public sphere. |
