DESCRIPTION:Tuesday May 18th, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm  2004 Bay Area NGO-Media Dialogue:  
 Bringing Home ‘Bad News’: Increasing Awareness in the US of Conflict, 
 Violence and Disaster Abroad  New College Theater, 777 Valencia St., San 
 Francisco  Panelists include:  David Michaelis, Director of Current 
 Affairs, WorldLink TV  Andrew Ross, Executive Foreign-National Editor, San 
 Francisco Chronicle  Fairuz Taqi-Eddin, Media and Event Coordinator, CARE  
 Mary Ann Tenuto Sanchez, Founding Member, Chiapas Support Committee  Jeff 
 Perlstein, Executive Director, Media Alliance (Moderator)  This dialogue 
 features a panel of NGO staff and Bay Area journalists as they discuss 
 international crises and the range of their coverage and awareness in the 
 US. Why do some foreign stories of crises get covered while others seem to 
 be overlooked in the US? How can NGO and media professionals accurately 
 convey at home common hazards experienced abroad? How can they succeed in 
 their international work while protecting themselves in politically 
 sensitive or violent environments? These are only a sample of topics that 
 may be discussed, and the audience is invited to ask questions afterward.
