For such a global and disastrous situation and the aftermath I will be serious. I will start talking about listening to radio 2 a phone-in has a son who was in Japan at the time. She said that he was not personally phased about it, okay that’s very bizarre but a point of view that we the curious viewer wouldn’t have heard this. We all paint a picture of Japan just making an assumption that everyone is devastated and that everyone’s’ lives would be destroyed due this. In the reporting news we are only seeing the devastated pictures and videos of the after-math but we are not hearing the voices of the people, instead we have the blogs. The blogs are varied and different rather to the same news that keeps on repeating the victims escaping the rubble that was their homes. We know these unheard voices exist through blogging and are being ignored by the media which I was relying on.
We are just told the devastating facts not the peoples’ stories.

In blogs we have seen simple blog messages such as “I survived Japan’s massive earthquake” http://uk.jalopnik.com/5781018/i-survived-japans-massive-earthquake
Something so simple, imagine it was you, with all of the chaos around you, so much chaos to quite understand so this message, now this could be the thought behind the peoples’ message.
