Via OpEdNews, another of Georgianne Nienaber's brilliant and distinctive reports: Samia Salomon: A Central Pillar of Haiti's Community Journalism Network. Excerpt (but read the whole thing):
A lush tropical background frames the shot as the young Haitian woman engages the camera lens completely, confidently, and boldly. Wearing a bright orange tunic and holding a microphone in one hand, she uses the other to open a primitive faucet jerry-rigged to a PVC pipe.
As the woman begins the standup introduction for the Ayiti Kale Je video investigation of the cholera epidemic that has claimed over 4,000 lives since October 2010, she pauses. She has something else she wants to say, and it is not scripted. "Hello, I am Samia Salomon, a feminist journalist."
