While the epidemiologic features of HIV infection vary globally, marginalized populations, such as men who have sex with men (MSM), female sex workers (FSW), and injection drug users (IDUs) are consistently at increased risk for HIV infection relative to the general population. Targeting such marginalized, or hidden, populations has become a global priority to maximize the effectiveness of the public health response to the HIV pandemic. Members of these populations are often difficult to find, and the size of these populations is largely unknown, making it difficult to calculate epidemiologic measures of disease and to evaluate the reach and coverage of public health programs.

  • Remembering Paul Douglas
    Donate July 2015 REMEMBERING PAUL DOUGLAS 24/07/15 Written by Allen Pizzey, CBS News Ahead of their August fundraiser for RPT, CBS News correspondent Allen Pizzey remembers cameraman Paul Douglas, who was killed alongside freelancer James Brolan in Iraq nine years ago. Nine CBS News teams will be competing in London Triathlon on 8th August in memory of their fallen colleagues. For reasons no one seems to be able to articulate, the words “looking for closure” have become a Pavlovian response to the death of friends, colleagues and anyone else we care about. Given that the Oxford Dictionary defines it as: “A feeling that an emotional or traumatic experience has been resolved”, closure is a term that should not, and thankfully in the case of his friends and colleagues. cannot, be applied to the memory of Paul Douglas. There is no more justifiable resolution to Paul’s death than there was rhyme or reason to the IED that took his life, and that of his friend and soundman James Brolan, on a Baghdad street corner nine years ago. It is said of many people that they were “larger than life”, and in most cases, it’s a nice thought, but a cliché. To say that of Paul Douglas is to understate the case. He was physically huge, shaven-headed and had a booming voice that could silence a room with a syllable. That combination by its mere description would seem to be intimidating in the extreme, unless you knew his smile. It was a big as his heart, and his courage.

When did the rascals of “The Front Page” turn into the scoundrels of “Absence of Malice”? Why did reporters stop being heroes played by Clark Gable, Bette Davis and Cary Grant and become bit actors playing rogues dogging at the heels of Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn? It all happened in the dark as people watched movies and sat at home listening to radio and watching television. “The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture” explores the continuing, evolving relationship between the American people and their media. It investigates the conflicting images of reporters in movies and television and demonstrates, decade by decade, their impact on the American public’s perception of newsgatherers in the 20th century. The class shows how it happened first on the big screen, then on the small screens in homes across the country. The class investigates the image of the cinematic newsgatherer from silent films to the 1990s, from Hildy Johnson of “The Front Page” and Charles Foster Kane of “Citizen Kane” to Jane Craig in “Broadcast News.” The reporter as the perfect movie hero.

  • Winners of the Overseas Press Club Awards
    2010 dateline SPECIAL EDITION CARACAS, VENEZUELA WINNERS OF THE OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB AWARDS dateline 2010 1 LETTERFROM THE PRESIDENT t the Overseas Press Club of America, we are marching through our 71st year insisting that fact-based, hard-news reporting from abroad is more important than ever. As we salute the winners of our 20 awards, I am proud to say their work is a tribute to the public’s right to know. As new forms of communication erupt, the incessant drumbeat of the A24-hour news cycle threatens to overwhelm the public desire for information by swamping readers and viewers with instant mediocrity. Our brave winners – and IS PROUD the news organizations that support them – reject the temptation to oversimplify, trivialize and then abandon important events as old news. For them, and for the OPC, the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, the shifting fronts in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq, the drug wars of Mexico and genocides and commodity grabs in Africa need to be covered thoroughly and with integrity. TO SUPPORT The OPC believes quality journalism will create its own market. In spite of the decimation of the traditional news business, worthwhile journalism can and will survive. Creators of real news will get paid a living wage and the young who desire to quest for the truth will still find journalism viable as a proud profession and a civic good. We back that belief with our OPC Foundation, which awards 12 scholarships a year to deserving students who express their desire to become foreign correspondents while submitting essays on international subjects.
