XDR-TB
October 3rd, 2008
“I’m working on a story that the world needs to know about. I wish for you to help me break it, in a way that provides spectacular proof of the power of news photography in the digital age.”
I just received an e-mail from TED on the result of James Nachtwe’s TED prize last year, and it’s a moving campaign, based on pictures taken by him from around the world, about Extremely Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (TB).
Boston Globe’s The Big Picture has already told about something like this was coming up, and today they’re posting Nachtwe’s pictures, inspiring awe and hopefully an urge to action.
So, please, if you can, visit XDRTB.org, learn more about the problem, get inspired, and get moving.
