Suggestion of a Zika focused Journalist for World Health Assembly

3 comments

Hi - we have been asked to nominate a Latin American journalist, preferably with experience of writing on Zika, for support to attend the forthcoming World Health Assembly in Geneva. WHCA (Franklin Apfel) will provide air fare and cover costs including accommodation. As I understand it they will be part of a broader group of journalists from different regions supported to cover the World Health Assembly meeting where there will be a major focus on Zika WHCA will also help with Visas's though these can be difficult so if the person already has a Schengen that would be excellent. There is a rush on this. Would very much appreciate quick responses suggesting people. Thanks - Warren

Dear Warren,

thank you for contacting us.  We don't have someone specifically that we could refer you to, but we did a litle survey on journalists who have writen most about the subject in large media outlets.  This list, with links to their coverage is below. 

Best regards

Warren,

We have a couple of people in Guatemala right now meeting with the news media yesterday and today. I’ll get back to you in a day or two with some names. May also have contacts in Brazil.
