Frontline, Planet Money, PBS NewsHour to collaborate on Haiti coverage

Beginning later this week, Frontline, NPR’s Planet Money and PBS NewsHour are partnering across platforms to report on post-earthquake life in Haiti. Planet Money will look at what new economies are emerging from the rubble in Port-au-Prince. That piece will develop into several Web-original Frontline video reports, TV segments on PBS NewsHour and companion radio on Morning Edition, All Things Considered and Planet Money’s podcast. The project culminates in Frontline’s broadcast next Tuesday, March 30, of “The Quake,” examining the world’s response to the catastrophe. Featured in that program are interviews including former President Bill Clinton, special envoy to Haiti; Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton; and Dr. Paul Farmer, deputy special envoy to Haiti.
