Heroes of HIV: HIV in the Caribbean

  • Twenty-five years after the AIDS epidemic was given a name, it is a plague with tangled ties between the wealthiest and the poorest countries in the hemisphere. In a three-part multi-media series, Palm Beach Post reporter Antigone Barton examines some of those ties, in the Dominican Republic, in Haiti and in Palm Beach County.

Global Gateway: Heroes of HIV

Thanks for joining us as we explore the issue of HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean with reporter Antigone Barton.

Our first goal with the Global Gateway is to engage you, the students, on international issues that have been under-reported or mis-reported in the mainstream media, and ask you to think about how these international stories relate to your own lives. We also hope to inspire you to become critical thinkers about the way media is shaped in the United States: What's missing from the headlines? Why are there fewer foreign reporters out there today when our world is globalizing so rapidly? Is this a problem? And if so, what can we do about it?
