"Evening News" Revisits Pakistan
The press has taken some flack recently for its coverage (or lack thereof) of the Pakistan earthquake -- some of it from Public Eye. And weeks later, as the death toll continues to rise and many are still left without relief, criticism continues to mount.

We were also pleased to see that last night’s “Evening News” had broached the topic, following up on the aftermath of the earthquake one month later with a piece by Mark Phillips, who followed a mule train through the mountains of Sat Bani as Pakistani relief workers attempted to reach those who are otherwise inaccessible.
