November 4th, 2015

CGHD, SPH, and the College of Communication (COM) have an ongoing partnership with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting in an effort to exchange knowledge and resources on global health and crisis reporting. Student applicants from SPH and COM are selected for a 6-8 week practicum during which they work in Washington, D.C. at the Pulitzer Center headquarters, then travel internationally (likely to a developing country) on a 2-3 week reporting trip mentored by professional journalists.

This year, one the BU Pulitzer Fellows, Claire Felter (COM), has had her story on Water Safety in Zanzibar featured in Global Health Now.

In addition to Claire’s work, take a look at the stories from BU-Pulitzer fellows Pankaj Khadka and Kateri Donohoe. Kateri Donohoe from SPH presented last week on the CRC and is still in the production/writing phase, but her work on the female genital cutting in Mali promises to make a splash as she is really digging into the cultural and economic complexities of the practice including the perspective of traditional cutters.

Pulitzer ran a competition for a special HIV reporting Fellowship that will start during winter break. Rebecca Sananes from COM was one of the recipients and will be reporting on HIV in Cuba.
