Washington Post reporter Anne Hull speaks at UF

Rather than attending lecture for my editing class today, we have been given the opportunity to sit in on a talk given by Pulitzer Prize finalist and national reporter for the Washington Post Anne Hull.

For those who may not know, Hull, working in collaboration with Post reporter Dana Priest, is responsible for the story that ran in February of 2007 about the less-than-acceptable conditions of the Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital. The online version of the story is accompanied by three audio slide shows, featuring Hull as a narrator. I like the package as an example of how a top-tier prize-winning reporter can still dip their feet into the multimedia realm of their story-telling.

Other pieces by Hull include stories about gay youth, welfare reform, AIDS and immigration.
