As hundreds of non-governmental organizations begin to pull out of Haiti, their departures are causing problems in a nation still struggling to recover from the 2010 earthquake. Several journalists chosen to take part in the Fund for Investigative Journalism took a close look at one of those problems.

When International Media Support, a nonprofit organization that works to improve conditions in developing nations, wanted to examine why Haiti struggles to find and keep journalists who can report on difficult conditions there, they turned to Knight International Journalism Fellow Kathie Klarreich.

Klarreich works with investigative reporting trainees in Haiti, particularly those interested in tracking the flow of aid funds following the January 2010 earthquake.

WASHINGTON — Sitting under the open air on a sunny Wednesday afternoon, Occupy D.C. protesters held a mock hearing on how to create a fair economy for most Americans — a contrast, protesters said, to Capitol Hill hearings that they said work to enrich the nation’s top 1 percent of earners.

A July 15 story in Haiti's Nouvelliste newspaper (in French) explores a lack of rubble removal in the country following the January 12, 2010 earthquake. The story focuses on Haiti Recovery Group (HRG), an outfit tasked to remove debris, which is housed in a state-of-the-art facility that stands in sharp contrast to its surroundings.

This article was published in collaboration with Kathie Klarreich as part of a pilot project of investigative journalism in collaboration with the Association of Haitian Media (ANMH). On a Knight International Journalism Fellowship through the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), Klarreich has been working for the last few months with journalists from the Nouvelliste on stories of reconstruction following the earthquake.
