Follow one of the links on edline or do search on Rwanda situation / media coverage. Please post a reflection on your blog that shows you have looked at another source and have been thinking about what you've seen. (Include something about media)
It is surprising how we had been ignorant to the Rwanda conflict. The genocide occurred in 1990s and yet there are many people who do not know about it. The article I read claimed that U.S. government (or President Clinton) did not know about the genocide. Is that true? It is ridiculous that the nation that holds massive amount of media was unable to notice the genocide. The truth is that most U.S. officials opposed to American involvement in Rwanda conflict. Like the camera man in the movie said, we know the genocide happening but we just think 'Oh, it is terrible,' and continue to eat dinner.
Article, “Bystanders to Genocide”
