Gharida Farooqi, a broadcast reporter from Pakistan, told KSTP-TV in Minneapolis that her country is more complex and dynamic than most Americans understand. Farooqi is participating in the U.S.-Pakistan Professional Partnership in Journalism, a program run by ICFJ designed to dispel myths and build partnerships.

In this 18-minute web chat, she addresses everything from hockey to gay rights.

Dozens of transitional shelters built for Haitian families left homeless by the 2010 earthquake remain empty now, while many of those same families still live in tents or huts. Reporters chosen for the Fund for Investigative Journalism, developed by Knight International Journalism Fellow Kathie Klarreich, set out to find out what went wrong and why. With guidance from Klarreich and Jane Regan, her partner on the project, what they found was a mountain of good intentions buried under a confusing heap of chaos and distortions.

As hundreds of non-governmental organizations begin to pull out of Haiti, their departures are causing problems in a nation still struggling to recover from the 2010 earthquake. Several journalists chosen to take part in the Fund for Investigative Journalism took a close look at one of those problems.

When International Media Support, a nonprofit organization that works to improve conditions in developing nations, wanted to examine why Haiti struggles to find and keep journalists who can report on difficult conditions there, they turned to Knight International Journalism Fellow Kathie Klarreich.

Klarreich works with investigative reporting trainees in Haiti, particularly those interested in tracking the flow of aid funds following the January 2010 earthquake.
