Location:
West Meeting Room, Newcomb Hall
University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA

The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, in conjunction with the University of Virginia's University Program Council, Student Council, and Women's Center, presents Haiti: Reporting Beyond the Headlines. Pulitzer Center grantee Andre Lamberston will share his experience working as a photojournalist in Haiti after the earthquake. Over the course of a year, Lambertson made repeated trips to Haiti to tell the stories of ordinary Haitians working to rebuild their lives and communities while coping with issues ranging from HIV/AIDS to their children's welfare. Lambertson is an award-winning photojournalist, teacher and filmmaker who is committed to documenting stories of hope, healing, and transformation. Among other recent works, Lambertson is currently shooting a documentary called "The Whole Gritty City" about marching bands that help stem street violence among youth in New Orleans.
