media in disasters and emergencies

There are many comitees and syndicates which help people during disasters and emereencies, Red Cross, UNO, FEMA and among others. But, most of the times the media is who gets completely involved in the issue; sometimes helping some others not. How important is the media in disasters and emergencies???

Hey!
Well, I guess that media is pretty important when something happens especially in disasters because without the media we don't even realize that something is happening somewhere in the world, or maybe... in the country!

I think that media is very important when disasters are happening, because if we don't have media we can't realize what's happening in our city, country, world or universe :DDD
