Tonle Sap (Part One)

In late January and early February 2014, I traveled to Cambodia for two and a half weeks, thanks to a grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. My reporting partner was video journalist and recent Pulitzer Center hire, Steve Sapienza. Together, we followed scientists and fishermen working on Cambodia's great lake, the Tonle Sap. Steve and I have several pieces coming out in June and July based on this reporting--in the New York Times (scheduled June 10), on PBS Newshour (about a week later, stay tuned), and in the Virginia Quarterly Review (summer issue, out July 1).  Fair warning: they all cover the same story in different ways. Here are two audio slideshows originally posted on our project page within the Pulitzer Center's website.






In Part Two, I will post a story about water's critical role in the rise, fall, and renewal of Angkor Wat, and a short profile of a Tonle Sap fisherman.
