Can't Believe how Soon News Organizations Forget...

It has just been a few day since the 04/27/11 tornado outbreak in the South and already the story has rolled off the main page of most news organization webpages. Pope John Paul, Gahadfi, Obama joking on Trump at the White House Correspondents dinner; they are all more important than the continued pain that the people in the South are going through as they prepare to bury some of the 347 killed in the rogue storms. It is unfortunate that we forget so quickly, hell, how much do we hear about Japan anymore, 13,000 dead and 14,000 still missing and their whole country is royally screwed for a long time. As a photojournalist, I have found that some of the long term follow-up stories I have done are the most compelling stories you can come up with. Lets not forget the people in Alabama and neighboring states, even if the news outlets have. They deserve better.
