Tsunami and Communication

   Associate Professor Michael Niman has published a chapter about the South Asian tsunami and communication aspects of the natural (and subsequent social) disaster. The chapter examines tsunami stories that most of the world's media did not tell and the environmental and social injustice that such silence nurtures.
   Niman's chapter, "The Political Tsunami: Not All Death and Destruction Is Natural" was published in Tsunami Communication: Interpersonal/Intercultural, Mass Media, and Philanthropic Responses; Historical, Technical, Ethical and Development Communication, published by Hampton Press.
