Samoa Coverage Update

Since nobody seems to be covering the coverage of the Samoa Tsunami (wrist slaps to TVNewser, Mediaite, and the TV writers at The Washington Post and NY Times) here’s who has sent their people over to Samoa…

NBC News/MSNBC – Lee Cowan (arrived mid-day yesterday), replaced by George Lewis later in the week.
CNN – Ted Rowlands and Hugh Williams (arrived last night)
BBC – Phil Mercer (arrived yesterday)
FNC – I can’t tell if they sent anyone to the region. A search of website video has proven inconclusive and I missed The Fox Report tonight.
Bloomberg TV – I can’t tell if they sent anyone to the region. A search of website video has proven inconclusive.
ABC News – Neal Karlinski (arrived mid-day yesterday)
CBS News – Sent nobody apparently. Bill Whitaker was reporting on the story from Los Angeles tonight.
