Doctoral candidate Ammina Kothari will talk about “Media and HIV/AIDS Epidemic in Tanzania: An investigation of relations between journalists, sources and content” at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Ernie Pyle Hall lounge. The talk is part of the school’s Research Colloquium series.

Kothari will focus on the relationship between journalists and non-governmental organizations and its effect on the coverage of HIV/AIDS in Tanzania. Drawing from interviews with Tanzanian journalists and NGO officials working on HIV/AIDS, Kothari will discuss how lack of resources has increased journalists' dependency on NGOs for information about HIV/AIDS, opening opportunities for publication of NGO-generated content as journalistic reporting.
