Under-Told Stories Project<\/a>, founded by de Sam Lazaro. The Project\u2019s documentary-style segments are available on its website, along with ancillary materials and discussion questions designed to help educators use storytelling to enhance classroom learning on some of the world\u2019s most pressing problems.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\nThe Project\u2019s work is featured on the \u201cPBS News Hour,\u201d which is ranked the most credible and objective daily news program on television. Each segment will highlight Santa Clara University\u2019s support to the program\u2019s nearly two million nightly viewers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to welcome Fred de Sam Lazaro to Santa Clara University as our inaugural Journalist in Residence and to serve as the home for the Under-Told Stories Project,\u201d said Glaser. \u201cFred\u2019s experience pursuing thorough, impactful reporting around the world will deeply enrich our campus community and offer our students unprecedented, real-world experience in ethical storytelling and global journalism.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of my identity is folded into the Under-Told Stories Project, raising awareness and understanding of issues of human suffering and poverty, but wherever possible through a focus on solutions,\u201d said de Sam Lazaro. \u201cOur reporting, while solidly journalistic, reflects Santa Clara\u2019s Jesuit commitment to social justice and poverty alleviation by telling stories that illuminate human dignity and advance the common good. I am thrilled to embed at Santa Clara, work directly with students, and bring under-reported stories to the forefront.\u201d<\/p>\n
To begin his residence, de Sam Lazaro will launch a series of international reports from Southern Africa, covering critical narratives in South Africa and Namibia, including global health and immigration. He will also work with Santa Clara faculty to further integrate the Under-Told Stories Project\u2019s extensive digital archive of more than 300 documentary reports and educational materials into the undergraduate curriculum.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor decades, Fred has done the tough but necessary work of finding, reporting, and telling the stories that don\u2019t get told \u2013 the ones unfolding in remote villages and often-overlooked communities, far from the spotlight, and not often found in headlines,\u201d said Amna Nawaz, co-anchor and co-managing editor of PBS News Hour. \u201cHis genuine curiosity, his respect for every story, and the deep expertise he\u2019s built over a range of subjects are what make his work indispensable to the public\u2019s understanding of global issues. It\u2019s why we\u2019ve been so fortunate to feature his reporting on the PBS News Hour, and why the Santa Clara University community is so fortunate to now learn from him.\u201d<\/p>\n
