Newsweeks recent article, "Haiti in a Time of Cholera,"  is the kind of sensationalized, predictable journalism that distorts the image of Haiti and Haitians to the rest of the globe.   

Every Haitian is not a stoic, suffering, simple noble savage.  Every foreigner in Port-au-Prince does not have to hide from the threat of violence behind the windows of an SUV.   Every neighborhood in Cite-Soleil is not dangerous and filthy.

Join us!  Write to the Editors of Newsweek.  Tell them you will not stand for this outdated brand of reporting in which Haiti is a frightening other-worldly place whose people scream and suffer, but do not speak for themselves. This perspective smacks of colonialism and racism.  Newsweek can do better.
