A quick run-down of SJMC students and faculty who have been featured in the media this week:

• Professor Deborah Blum published an article on “Poison and Progress” in the Wall Street Journal (drawn from the research from her latest book, The Poisoner’s Handbook.
• Professor Stephen Ward was quoted in a Washington Post article on the difficulties of reporting from inside a humanitarian crisis of such devastating proportions as the Haiti earthquake.
• And finally, one of our newest pro-track MA students, Saideh Jamshidi, recently had an article published on EJC.net (the European Journalism Center) on the Jaras news site and the difficulties of covering politics in Iran.

Give them a look if you like and feel free to chat about the way our students and faculty strive to connect their work here in the School of Journalism & Mass Communication to unfolding events in the  world at large.
