Book publishing

DateThursday, August 6, 2009 at 09:11AM

I have been commissioned to conceptualise, edit and produce a book for the HIV/AIDS & the Media Project, a fellowship programme run by the Department of Journalism and the Perinatal Health Research Unit (PHRU) of the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg.

The book will include journalism (print & broadcast) and research based on work people have produced during fellowships with the Project between 2003 and 2009. One big section of the book will look at the role of the South African media with regard to HIV reporting, while the other main section of the book will be on specific HIV-related themes, such as stigma, traditional medicine, orphans and vulnerable children, etc.

This is an extremely exciting project. We are currently in the conceptualisation phase and I can't stop my mind from strategising and thinking up new ideas for putting the content together. The official book proposal is almost written, and we already have interest from a first publisher to look at it. I'll let you know when to look out for it on the bookstore shelves next year!

Wow Kristin, sounds fascinating. Best of luck! I am doing my research this year at Wits on reporting on children so maybe you can share your thoughts on the subject.

Warm regards,
