Center On Crisis Reporting The
Pulitzer Center gives travel grants for international reporting
projects to journalists who agree to blog from the field, publish
in print and online outlets, write longer magazine stories and short
documentaries for public television and do feature-length documentary

reported or not reported at all. |

- Your Coffee Dollar
This
exercise lets you decide how to allocate the profits from your daily
cup of coffee between growers, traders, shippers, roasters and retailers.
After you submit your ideal allocations, you can read about how
the profits actually get split and read about how fair trade fits

P.O.V.
Well-Founded Fear - Your Decision PBS
gives you a chance to "step into the job of asylum officer
for a few minutes... with no real life consequences." You're
given the case of a Sikh man from the Punjab who claims he can't
go back to India because of government persecution. You must decide
whether or not to grant his request using video of the man's responses
to asylum officers' questions, as well as printed research and gossip
from your coworkers. Afterwards, you can compare your decision to
what actually happened and hear video commentary on the case from
the asylum officer's point of view. |
