Shale gas is an energy phenomenon not just in a broad swath of the United States but in places like eastern Europe, too. In both regions there is a tangled mix of hopes, hype, and concern.
The Pulitzer Center launches its Talks @ Pulitzer series on Tuesday, January 29, with an evening focused on shale gas, its promises and its dangers in Europe and the United States. On hand will be award-winning filmmaker Stephen Sapienza and journalist Dimiter Kenarov, to discuss their most recent Pulitzer Center reporting project, "Shale Gas: From Poland to Pennsylvania."
Join us for a light reception at our offices in downtown Washington, DC, at 5:30 pm followed by a conversation with Sapienza and Kenarov beginning at 6 pm. Closest Metro: Dupont Circle.
Space is limited; please RSVP to rsvp@pulitzercenter.org by January 25.
