NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO ‘ALL THINGS CONSIDERED’ | EDITORIAL ASSISTANT & RESEARCHER (STAFF ROLE) | WASHINGTON, DC | FEBRUARY 2000 – JULY 2000 | Under the direction of producer Art Silverman, I  (Julie Poucher Harbin) I conducted extensive research, proposed story ideas, and followed through with production assistance for the show’s Pew Charitable Trusts-funded Changing Face of America radio series.

Below are summaries of radio pieces appearing on various versions of the NPR website. Unfortunately, the links to the audio appear to be broken.

This collection includes journalistic articles that I (Julie Poucher Harbin) wrote and co-wrote for the Institute for War & Peace Reporting 'Balkan Crisis Report' and edited for IWPR's 'Afghan Recovery Report;' wrote for International Medical Corps, the Norwegian Refugee Council, and The World Bank; and edited for the Washington, DC-based Institute for Social Policy and Understanding think-tank as part of a Duke Islamic Studies Center-associated project.

Citations are also included. IWPR 'BALKAN CRISIS REPORT' | SARAJEVO, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA; ZAGREB, CROATIA; BELGRADE, SERBIA; VIENNA, AUSTRIA | JANUARY 2001 – APRIL 2003 | Collaborated with local & regional reporters in The Balkans on select investigative pieces — enhancing post-civil-war journalistic capacity in the region — and did solo field reporting. Covered post-civil-war politics (women and religious leaders in the 2002 parliamentary elections), ethno-religious tensions (inc. a multi-ethnic football team, a diverse youth group in a tourist town, foreign-funded mosques), social issues (inc. drug addiction, domestic violence, brain drain), human trafficking, UN governance, European media aid & development, and Sarajevo's Olympics bid. Also, attended news briefings in Sarajevo by NATO-SFOR, the OSCE, UNHCR, and OHR. Two articles were cross-published ("The Fall of OBN" by a Bosnian newsmagazine and "Bosnia: UN Handover Causes Concern" by the UN’s ReliefWeb outlet) and three were cited ("Multi-ethnic Football Kicks Off" by The Guardian, "German Media Dominates the Balkans" by the OSCE, and "Thousands of Women Lured into Bosnia Brothels" by the International Crisis Group) 'AFGHAN RECOVERY REPORT' | KABUL, AFGHANISTAN | JULY 2004 – JANUARY 2005 |  I mentored Afghan trainee journalists on best-practices for sourcing, how to construct a workable story plan, and tips on UK/US-style article structure and tone, then edited their articles, which covered critical post-conflict issues such as sanitation and disease, divorce, women’s rights, mental health, refugee concerns, and soldier demobilization. NOTABLY:  I successfully persuaded a staff of mainly male journalists with little journalism experience, limited English language skills, and no previous experience with a female manager, to learn and embrace an American reporting style that included unbiased, multi-dimensional and interactive reporting.  And, I convinced a reporter to not only analyze a report about the waste management system in Kabul and conduct the appropriate interviews, but to travel for a day on a Kabul garbage truck to gain first-hand  knowledge to report his story— journalism atypical of Afghanistan.
