The Internews Humanitarian Media Unit is a global leader in working with humanitarian organizations and local media in in emergencies to develop cutting edge tools and strategies for improving communication flows between humanitarian organizations, local media and the people affected by the crisis.  In most areas, local media are a logical partner for organizations looking for ways to connect with disaster-affected communities. Yet the relationship between aid organizations and local media is often characterized by mistrust, miscommunication and misunderstanding.   Media has a key role to play in a humanitarian crisis situation, one that goes beyond the simple documentation of a disaster. When populations are struggling for basic needs and rights, media can provide a basic crucial resource, INFORMATION. During a humanitarian crisis local journalists can provide a better understanding of what is happening, what is help is available, and how people can better take care of their families. With the help of reliable, relevant, targeted INFORMATION, people can better survive a major humanitarian crisis and eventually begin to rebuild their lives hazards, and warnings that people can use to help themselves and their families.
