Marc Lacey Speaking at the Artisans of Peace Overcoming Poverty Release Event
We'll be posting a series of short clips from the presentations at the Artisans of Peace Overcoming Poverty release event last night - here is the first, Marc Lacey, Associate Managing Editor for Weekends at the New York Times speaking about his experience covering the humanitarian response in Haiti as a journalist.A little glimpse: "There are similarities between journalism and aid work…. one is that to do the job well, you have to take time, you have to know the country, you have to connect with the people, you have to talk to people about what issues are important to them and not impose your issues and your beliefs on the country and the situation."
