Crisis Guide: Darfur
Multimedia Producer
Crisis Guide: Darfur, an Emmy award-winning interactive, takes a comprehensive look at the ongoing genocide in Sudan. It’s a six chapter multimedia presentation including award-winning photography, video, a timeline of the conflict, an interactive map, expert analysis, and extensive resources for the unfolding crisis.
A joint production between the Council on Foreign Relations and MediaStorm in 2007, Crisis Guide: Darfur was my first main production at CFR.org. In September 2008 this interactive won an Emmy award for New Approaches to News and Documentary Programming: Current News Coverage, garnering the Council’s first-ever Emmy nomination and win. I want to highlight the magnificent work on this project of Stephanie Hanson as the lead writer, and Pamela Chen who produced the openning video. Of course it goes without saying (but I will) that this franchise would not exist without the vision of Michael Moran. Mike’s has an uncanny understanding of how to use the interactive medium to further the journalistic endevor.
