We learn from Jerry Fowler's November 2006 interview with Ann Curry:
"Ann also highlights the importance of public response, noting that the more emails and feedback a story receives and the more the public cares about a story such as Darfur, the more likely the outlet is to continue covering the region."
Tonight, ABC News released two Darfur news stories: "Darfur: Trying to Save the Capital" and "How You Can Help Save Darfur."
So, click on the Comments and Suggestions page at ABCnews.com and let ABC news know you appreciate Darfur coverage. The human rights community must not let genocide go unnoticed, and our ability to spread the word rests largely on the media.

I agree there should be more coverage of Genocide. After Holocaust, the UN said "Never Again", and then there was genocide in Srebrenica in front of noses of the UN peacekeepers who were supposed to protect citizens from the massacre.
To describe Darfur genocide, the UN uses term "massacres" and "human rights violations". This is one of UN's methods to avoid responsibility. The United Nations are incapable of preventing genocide.
