New York Times reporter
will visit as Poynter Fellow

New York Times reporter Elisabeth Rosenthal, who is now covering the presidential campaign for the newspaper, will visit the campus on Tuesday, Nov. 18, as the first Poynter Fellow of the academic year.

Rosenthal will give a public talk on the topic "Journalism in China: Scaling the Great Wall of Control" at 4 p.m. in Rm. 102 of Linsly-Chittenden Hall, 63 High St.

Rosenthal has been a reporter at The New York Times since 1992. She covered health and medicine for the newspaper until 1997, when she became one of the Times' two reporters in Beijing.

In May 2001, she began covering Henan province, where impoverished villagers who had sold their blood to a state agency became victims of a mass HIV infection. Her articles brought the crisis to the attention of health officials in Beijing and showed the consequences of the disease at the village level. For her coverage of the spread of the HIV virus through rural areas of central China, Rosenthal received a number of awards, including the Asia Society's first Osborn Elliott Prize for Excellence in Asian Journalism.

Born in New York City, Rosenthal received a B.A. in history and biology from Stanford University in 1978 and an M.A. in English literature from Cambridge University in 1980. She then earned an M.D. degree from Harvard Medical School with board certification in internal medicine.

Before joining the Times, she was a practicing physician at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center.

The Poynter Fellowship in Journalism at Yale was established by Nelson Poynter '27 M.A. It brings to campus journalists who have made significant contributions to their field. In recent years, the fellowship has brought Jeff Greenfield, Bob Woodward, Tim Russert, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Tom Friedman, Roger Simon and Paul Goldberger, among others, to the campus.
