Reporting Across Divides: Bringing Global Health Home

May 1, 7:30 PM, Town Hall Seattle, Great Hall, 1119 Eighth Avenue, at
Seneca St.

Speakers: Brenda Wilson, Correspondent/Editory Science Desk, NPR, and
Donald G. McNeil, Jr., Science Writer, The New York Times.

Moderator: Dave Ross, Talk Show Host, 710 KIRO-AM.

Public attention to the health of the world's population has skyrocketed
over the past decade, as have the efforts to cover global health stories
such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, hunger, and emerging threats (avian flu, SARS,
and extremely drug-resistant TB). Program is a conversation with two
prominent science journalists who cover global health and are faced with
the challenges of bringing a wide variety of stories to their U.S. and
international audiences. Will focus on their experiences in the field and
ways in which the complexity of global health issues are covered on radio,
television, print, and web media.

Event is free and open to the public.
