AIDS Media Center / New Journalist Resource

Monday, June 14. 2004

On June 30th the World Bank, along with a number of key partners, will be launching an "AIDS Media Center". Based in part on the successful "Online Media Briefing Center" run by the World Bank, the AIDS Media Center will be a "credentialed journalist only" resource providing access to embargoed materials, press contacts, multimedia files, training opportunities, and other resources of interest to journalists covering the AIDS epidemic. It strikes me as a very good idea (although I'm biased since I'm assisting with the effort): journalists get easy access to materials which assist their work, while AIDS organizations get journalist contact information which will assist their outreach efforts. I'm hopeful it will take off.

The launch date was pushed back to give some of the partners a better opportunity to review the beta site -- but still coming soon!

"Coming soon" proved an over-ambitious statement in the last posting -- but it still is coming (and making good progress). Look for a public launch later this Fall prior to World AIDS Day.
