The Courier-Journal's Chris Kenning filed a deadline account of a Louisville aid group's arrival in the devastated country; Kylene Lloyd is shooting photos. "Four hours after a 5.9-magnitude aftershock rocked quake-ravaged Haiti," Kenning writes in today's page-one story, "the first team from Louisville's Edge Outreach touched down Wednesday in the beleaguered capital city to begin providing untainted water to desperate survivors."The News-Press in Florida's Fort Myers sent a team in last week. Is your paper or TV station covering the earthquake on the ground?

Florida Today was one of the first U.S. media organizations to arrive in Haiti. Reporter John A. Torres flew in with an aid group from Brevard County on Wednesday, Jan. 13, less than 24 hours after the earthquake late Tuesday. His first-person account is here: http://tinyurl.com/ycnyyh7. A more in-depth report from him is coming this Sunday.
