I'm not going to hop on the "obvious example or racism" bandwagon just yet, for three reasons:

One - two different sources, so two different guidelines for reporting on the disaster.

Two - different post times, were again changes in reporting could have been dictated as the scope of the disaster unfolds.

Three - don't know who the reports are, afterall they could be "black" or "white" or something else... and until this is know, or any of these others are know it won't be possible to place these pictures in context.
