| New Channel Media is a production company for documentary films, video journalism, and multimedia. With print media under pressure from on-line news delivery channels, and readers' ability to be highly selective about the news they see, the plight of victims all over the world is being forgotten. It used to be that advertising revenue would provide publications with the financial resources needed to cover meaningful stories covering humanitarian and social issues. Today, newspaper readers can choose what news is delivered to them, for free, via the internet. Stories of human suffering, photographs of starving children, can all conveniently be by-passed in favor of the latest scandal about an American idol. But hunger, disease, poverty, and homelessness are bigger problems than ever. Over one billion people, in the world today, are hungry. Not all of them are in far-away places like Africa. Each day, at least 30,000 people in the Silicon Valley region need food hand-outs to help supplement their incomes, while, within one square mile, high-tech millionaires and billionaires are enjoying a privileged lifestyle, sometimes at the expense of those less well-off. New Channel Media recognizes that these problems exist. We are a part of a growing community of journalists, photojournalists, and documentary film-makers, dedicated to ensuring that victims of humanitarian and social challenges are not forgotten, and to support on-going awareness of the work done by non-profit organizations.

Haiti is a one hour flight from Miami, Florida and yet is known as the poorest country in the western hemisphere. |  |
