Just prior to Christmas New
Zealand journalist Jon Stephenson, assisted by an Asia New
Zealand media award, toured earthquake devastated
Pakistan. Accompanying Mr Stephenson on the two week trip
through the often fought over and now ruined province of
Kashmir was BFM host Rebecca Wright. During his travels Mr
Stephenson learned from aid workers that the response to the
earthquake had been paltry, in terms of both foreign aid and
media interest, in relation to the media saturation and
billions pledged in Tsunami aid.
