Update-'Robert' in South Sudan
I've heard back from 'Robert', my journalist friend in South Sudan who is trying to evacuate his family to Uganda (see previous post below). I am working with journalists in the Kansas City area to try to come up with the funds Robert needs to take his family (wife, niece, six children) to safety. Stay tuned for more updates.

Call for Submissions—The Peace Journalist magazine
The Peace Journalist magazine is seeking submissions for our October, 2016 edition. The Peace Journalist is a semi-annual publication (print and .pdf) of the Center for Global Peace Journalism at Park University in Parkville, Missouri. The Peace Journalist is dedicated to disseminating news and information for and about teachers, students, and practitioners of peace and conflict sensitive journalism.

Submissions are welcome from all. For the next edition of The Peace Journalist, we are seeking short submissions (300-550 words) detailing peace journalism projects, classes, proposals, academic works in the field, etc. We also welcome longer submissions (800-1200 words) about peace or conflict sensitive journalism projects or program.


 Please submit your article via email to steve.youngblood@park.edu. Also send a 2-3 sentence biography of the author, as well as a small head and shoulders photo of the author. In addition, please submit photos and graphics that could accompany your article.s, as well as academic works from the field. The Peace Journalist will not run general articles about peace initiatives or projects, but rather seeks only articles with a strong peace media/peace journalism/conflict sensitive journalism angle.

The submission deadline is September 7. However, it’s advisable to submit your article early.
