Abstract
A report aimed at NGOs and journalists working within the marketing and media coverage of disasters, human rights and development. “If people only knew, then they would act!” The image of a suffering child or the story of a starving mother supposedly should make us care and want to alleviate that suffering and make a change. People know, but they do not necessarily act.
