The National Press Foundation (NPF) launched the NPF Helpdesk, a free, online resource for reporters worldwide covering issues related to HIV and AIDS.

Every Monday, veteran Australian journalist Ruth Pollard of the Sydney Morning Herald shares ideas and resources for covering HIV and AIDS on the Helpdesk blog. Readers can also subscribe to get an e-mail bulletin. The Helpdesk also answers questions on challenges of covering HIV and AIDS.

The Washington-based NPF’s mission is to help journalists understand complex issues and thus contribute to greater public understanding. For more information, visit http://www.nationalpress.org/.
