While Americans fret over rising gas prices and global tension over oil, the world’s poor are struggling to secure access to another, even more basic resource. This portal continually draws fresh content from reporting projects supported by the Pulitzer Center and fosters an ongoing global dialogue on the issues.

The Pulitzer Gateway is a place where the general public, with a special emphasis on students and teachers, can interact directly with Pulitzer Center-funded reporters -- and with each other -- to discuss and debate critical international issues and the challenges and promises of international reporting.
