Large earthquake, no-one local hurt

A list of stories run in today’s Sydney Daily Telegraph further forward than its coverage of the hundreds of thousands dead in Haiti:

The Telegraph’s coverage (three half pages) of the Haiti disaster begins on page 18 after a teaser pic on page 7.

By contrast, the story dominates the front and back page of News Ltd stablemate The Australian’s main section and the front page of its second section too.

The Sydney Morning Herald also puts the story on its front page. The Australian Financial Review gives it six paragraphs on page 10.

Dr Mumbo would be intrigued to hear from newspaper readers elsewhere in the country on how it’s being covered.
