Looking through the Harvard calendar I stumbled on this. "In January 2013, journalist Paul Salopek will start walking out of Africa, following the pathways of the first human migration about 60,000 years ago. Toting a small laptop and a satellite phone in his rucksack, Salopek will report on the major issues of our day – poverty, conflict, climate change, local innovations – from the ground level, living among the people he will cover from Ethiopia to Patagonia."
He's giving a talk tomorrow night, Dec 6th at 7pm. It's being live streamed here.
"After researching the project while on a visiting Nieman Fellowship last spring, Salopek returns to Harvard to talk about the why and the how of this ambitious undertaking and to share how the best of old and new media are merging in this experiment in slow journalism. A worldwide audience is invited to follow the talk — and then “walk along” — via the hashtag #outofedenwalk and on the project website www.outofedenwalk.com, which will go live Dec. 6."
