After sifting through hundreds of harrowing images from the disaster, I was struck by the newer perspective in these images - they give us the view of the scene from the people on the ground, helping those directly affected. Their impact also makes sure that they stand out in among search results - which in turns drives users to programmes we are highlighting.
The image we have chosen for the World Tonight on Radio 4 is of Judith Betrand, 10, being attended by a Dominican Red Cross volunteer in Cité Soleil, Port-au-Prince.
