I’ve had the good fortune of working with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting and its fantastic staff on several projects:
Justice Renewed: Libera After War, a 2009 collaboration with photographer Glenna Gordon, about Liberia’s rule of law initiatives on land conflict, gender-based violence and legal reform. Our work appeared as a cover story in the Christian Science Monitor magazine, on World Vision Report (NPR), and in Foreign Policy and Newsweek International. C-SPAN’s Washington Journal aired a 45-minute minute live interview with me about our CSM cover story. 2009.
Beyond Peace Deals: UN Peacebuilding Commission, a 2010 project that spanned three months of reporting in four countries, looking at the United Nations’ newest experiment in bringing lasting peace to places emerging from conflict. My work from this project appeared in Foreign Policy, on World Vision Report (NPR) and in the Christian Science Monitor. My CSM cover story won the 2011 Elizabeth Neuffer Memorial Prize Gold Medal.
The Promise of Life: Reproductive choice in Africa, a 2011 cross-continental collaboration with photographer Jake Naughton, the Pulitzer Center’s multimedia coordinator, and Mae Azango, a Liberian newspaper journalist; Sam Olukoya, a Nigerian radio reporter; Ken Opala, a Kenyan investigative reporter; and Estelle Ellis, a South African justice reporter. Our collaboration included two weeks on the ground in Liberia and South Africa, reporting about maternal mortality, female genital mutilation, access to contraceptives, and abortion. Our work appeared (or is about to) in Foreign Policy, the Christian Science Monitor, the Nation, and on PRI’s The World (NPR).
There’s many more stories from Africa across this site, from published work to online vignettes. I hope you’ll take a look.
