Clearing the Air for Asia Society
|
Asia Society and MediaStorm collaborated to publish Clearing the Air: China's Environmental Challenge.
With the 2008 Olympics starting in a matter of days, Beijing's air quality has been under close scrutiny, and despite efforts to clean it up, the pollution still poses a serious problem for everyone around. Clearing the Air looks at the overall causes of the problem, featuring a broad overview, a daily photo diary documenting "blue sky days", and resources for more information.

Curse of the Black Gold for Talking Eyes Media
|
Ed Kashi has recently released his latest project: Curse of the Black Gold: 50 Years of Oil in the Niger Delta.
A powerful look at the effect the past 50 years of oil exploitation has had on Nigeria's environment and society. Between the book, a multimedia project (co-produced with MediaStorm), and a cohesive website, there is a lot of really great material to pore over here. The multimedia piece was awarded Best Multimedia (audio) at the New York Photo Awards.
