I Want My Darfur

April 29, 2005

When On the Media last covered what then-Secretary of State Colin Powell called "genocide" in the Darfur region of Sudan, some 50,000 people were dead. That death toll may now be close to 400,000. So where is the television coverage? It's on mtvU, an offshoot of MTV. mtvU executive, Stephen Friedman, tells Bob the coverage is having an impact among students. Georgetown activist Nate Wright agrees.
