Whether you're a news editor or a reader, your question may be the same:
Haven't we done Ethiopian famine? And the answer is yes, we
did Ethiopian famine back in 1985, when
we joined Bob Geldof, Michael Jackson and others in choruses of "We Are
the World" and helped them raise almost $300 million. And yet here they
are again, those images of helpless children and adults, demanding our
attention and nagging at our consciences until we turn the page or click
to the next screen.
