		<title>Re: Narco News and the ICNC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my reply to an open letter and response concerning the 2010 School of Authentic Journalism in Mexico, which I attended as a student.  It&#8217;s written in the same spirit as my open letter to Democracy Now!: we must continually evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of independent media in order to be effective.

GRAND GOAVE, Jan 28, 2010 (IPS) &#8211; Two gray 23-million-dollar hovercrafts sitting in the middle of a sandy tropical beach look like they are from another world. A pair of 15-foot-wide propeller fans sticks out from the back of each [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jerry survived</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
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&#8217;s already back at work, it appears.  See some of his pre-disaster work here.  He even tackled [...]]]></description>

The radio hooked up outside my moto driver&#8217;s house

Here&#8217;s my story for yesterday&#8217;s Free Speech Radio News newscast.  Some horrific sights at both Cannape-Vert Hospital and the Doctors Without Borders Clinic in Cite Soleil.  
 
MP3.  Video probably coming later.  It&#8217;s really an inefficient medium, from what I see here.  Journalists go out, shoot footage, then come back [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tell CNN to stop hyping fears of violence in Haiti.  For shame.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I just checked the front page of CNN.  The lead reads:
In the shadow of Haiti&#8217;s wrecked presidential palace lie the new homes of the capital&#8217;s 500,000 displaced residents. But with 4,000 convicted criminals on the loose, nothing and no one is safe.
They started pushing the violence meme the day after the earthquake.  I [...]]]></description>
