| Susan Dentzer, health correspondent for “The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer” on PBS, chair of the IRC board of directors health committee, wrote about her recent trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo with IRC in the current edition of Nieman Reports, the quarterly publication of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University.Dentzer writes that the trip and her work with IRC have compelled her to tell the stories of underreported humanitarian disasters, like Congo:
“As a journalist, I now know the humanitarian disaster in Congo is among the past decade’s most underreported major stories. … For all the stories I can tell here in the United States about the Health Care World of Plenty, I now understand how many more compelling ones exist in the Health Care World of Want.” |
