U.S., World: Live from the Haiti relief effort: A reporter’s embedded tweets

  • As Marines board, anticipation building here for final, critical push to Haiti.
  • (Newport News, Va.) Daily Press reporter Hugh Lessig • Who’s reporting about the Haiti relief effort directly from the source. He’s tweeting about what’s happening directly from the USS Bataan, a naval amphibious assault carrier that’s headed directly to Haiti. Lessig, who works for a paper with a major Navy readership, is posting a lot of details, to which he says, “Don’t mean to be overly-trivial with these tweets, but fact is, morale is high on Bataan and must be rubbing off. Mission = Satisfaction.” source
