Seems Macy’s is once again showing that companies can help people affected by disaster and make a profit.

And it provides an opportunity for LOCAL reporters to do a story with a GLOBAL hook.

The Globe and Mail of Toronto had a story yesterday about how Macy’s will be selling the work of Haitian artists. (Haitian artisans strike deal to sell work at Macy’s)

There is no reason student journalists should not be able to go out and do this story.

• Look around campus for artists to talk to about the Macy’s project.
• Check the records to see what campus groups have provided help to the people of Haiti.
• See if those groups have done any innovative projects to help other areas affected by natural disasters or wars.
