Celebrating life with Joplin tornado victims
As my brother, uncle, a Moldovan friend and I chatted about cars at a Kansas City-area watering hole last night, we were politely interrupted by a 30-something woman who asked us if we wanted to see a picture of her car. We said sure, not knowing what she had in mind. Her white Camry was speared through the back window by a long 2X4. It took a minute to figure out, but we quickly realized she was a tornado victim.
She and her husband lived in a second story apartment block that didn't…

Peace Journalism and the Apocalypse
Should a peace journalist—or any responsible journalism organization—publish the rantings of a lunatic?
Peace journalism is imbedded in the fundamentals of good journalism, beginning with double checking and verifying what is published. Since we can’t verify the hallucinations of an 89-year old attention seeker, we shouldn’t give them credibility by broadcasting and publishing them.

Ugandan Journalist Seeks Peace; Finds Conflict Instead
CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA—On the same day that I arrived in South Africa to teach and tour, my Ugandan “sister”, peace journalism trainer Gloria Laker, almost died.
When I read her tale below, I was flooded me with emotions—anger, fear, and relief among them. This is the story, in her own words (edited for length and style), of how she got caught up in rioting in Kampala and narrowly missed being seriously injured or even killed.
“It all started with an early…
