Jerry survived 26Jan2010
Jerry called me a few days after the quake, huddled with hundreds of people in a space without food and water. I was lining up a profile story with him before the catastrophe. But he’s already back at work, it appears. See some of his pre-disaster work here. He even tackled the problem of Haiti’s deforestation with his art, in an amusing way.

Hi, my name's Ansel.
I'm a multimedia journalist and web designer based in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. My goals with this site are to advance media justice and "go to where the silence is" in my own reporting. More info →

Hi, Ansel. I’ve been reading your reports and am really grateful for your coverage. I was thinking, after hearing news about Howard Zinn yesterday, about the interview we did with him together several years ago. I’ll always remember that.
Thank you for carrying on the kinds of principles that he stood for.

I was remembering that interview this morning too – thanks for giving me that opportunity. Might have been the first interview I ever did. He sat on the bed in that dim hotel room, in his socks. I think he’d be proud of ongoing ‘truth-in-recruitment’ work too.
