Essays, Art and Plays by Dan

Just got news that the Peace News Network wants me to provide content for their website and newsletters and I will also be interviewing researchers and politicians working on peace issues. I was hoping and praying that I could devote my “golden years” to working for peace and my prayers were answered!

I start in January and please check out the PNN website.

International news today is driven by sensationalism. From conflict zones, we hear stories about killings, bombings, and the views of violent extremists. This type of coverage tends to inflame passions and perpetuate negative stereotypes, fueling distrust and violence.

Peace News Network aims to present the other side – stories from conflict zones we often don’t hear. Our stories are about people taking risks for peace.

We highlight the opinions of ordinary people who want non-violent solutions to their political differences. Our stories aren’t always about shootings and explosions, but they do tell you stories from war zones that hopefully go some way towards building trust and reconciliation.
