The New Zealand Herald<\/a><\/em>\u00a0has one of the largest circulations in the country and is considered to hold a conservative stance. \u00a0We chose to examine\u00a0The New Zealand Herald<\/em>\u00a0because it distinguished itself as a national paper that reported heavily on Haiti\u2019s situation, despite being geographically or politically removed from Haiti.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The newspaper published 14 articles between October and November 2010, explaining the different components of the cholera outbreak.\u00a0\u00a0The articles also included many articles explaining both the United Nations and the United States\u2019 role in supplying aid to Haiti. \u00a0Four of the articles included either the United Nations or the United States in their headlines. \u00a0Their focus on the United States and the UN represents how they are both seen as vital players in international aid. \u00a0Moreover, it represents how responsibility lay with the international community to supply aid to Haiti.<\/p>\n
