But for the town’s 20,000 residents, the most valuable updates came from Lin Hao, a journalist at the local newspaper Southern Town Post. Lin arrived at the earthquake zone 40 minutes after the first tremor. Unlike national reporters who focused on big scenes—such as the arrival of rescue helicopters or speeches by officials—Lin focused on “small but urgent” stories. He talked to a mother whose 7-year-old daughter was trapped in a collapsed kindergarten, recorded the time it took for ambulances to reach remote villages, and noted that many elderly residents couldn’t receive emergency calls because their phones had no signal. That night, he stayed up until 2 a.m. writing a 3,000-word report. Instead of just describing the disaster, he criticized the town’s outdated emergency response system: “The fire exits in three old residential buildings were blocked by construction materials, and the local hospital only had two working stretchers for 50 injured people.” His report didn’t get as many online shares as national news, but it had a direct impact. Within three days, the local government sent 10 additional stretchers to the hospital, cleared all blocked fire exits, and set up temporary signal towers in remote areas. “Local journalists know the town like the back of their hands,” Lin said in an interview later. “We don’t just report news—we connect residents’ voices to those who can solve problems.” Today, Lin’s report is used as a case study in journalism classes at several universities.
