The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting in association with the M∙A∙C AIDS Fund and the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism made this project possible as they focused on stigma and discrimination that prevents people around the world from accessing HIV prevention, care, and treatment services they need. This is particularly true in areas of the Caribbean, such as Jamaica, where anti-sodomy laws and concerns about violence put vulnerable populations at extreme risk.
The first of the five-part series will begin airing on the PBS series World Focus on Tuesday, September 22nd; please check local listing for timing. Also, web videos of all five pieces are also going to go live on the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting website early next week as well. The videos will, we believe, be available internationally at http://pulitzergateway.org/the-glass-closet/.
For our associates in the New York area the series will kick off on Tuesday with two events, a viewing of the series at the Columbia University’s School of Journalism at 4:00 PM followed by a reception/panel discussion at the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism. Seating is limited so if you plan to attend please RSVP to RSVP@pulitzercenter.org.
We are uncertain as to how much of Sunshine Cathedral will be presented in this special; however we invite you to watch the series.
