DESCRIPTION:A conversation with\nMARK TURNER\nFounder & Director, Research Journalism 
 Initiative\nHuman Rights Activist, Nablus, Palestine\nNORA 
 BARROWS-FRIEDMAN\nExecutive Producer & Co-host, Flashpoints, KPFA\n\nAs the 
 U.S. corporate establishment media pretends not to notice the daily Israeli 
 incursions, kidnappings, extra-judicial assassinations, torture, land 
 theft, and economic subjugation inside the West Bank and Gaza strip, it is 
 more important than ever to educate ourselves and our communities about the 
 reality in which Palestinians are forced to live and to better understand 
 the role that we play here in the States as taxpayers -- and as global 
 citizens of conscience.\n\nThe Research Journalism Initiative is a 
 cooperative education partnership between Najah University in the besieged 
 West Bank city of Nablus and a growing number of High Schools in the United 
 States.  RJI's founder and director, Mark Turner, has just returned from 
 another nine-month stay in Nablus.  He will discuss the current and 
 historical situation inside occupied Palestine.\n\nNora Barrows-Friedman is 
 the Executive Producer and co-host of Flashpoints, a daily investigative 
 newsmagazine on Pacifica Radio. Since 2004, she has been reporting 
 regularly from the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip for Flashpoints and as 
 a correspondent for Inter Press Service, a news agency based in Europe.  
 Nora is on the board of directors of the Research Journalism Initiative. 
 Her website is http://www.norabf.com/, and she can be heard daily on 
 http://www.flashpoints.net/. \n\nThe program will be broadcast live on 
 Mid-Peninsula Community Media cable Channel 27 and webcast at 
 www.communitymediacenter.org, with rebroadcasts throughout February; visit 
 www.PeaceandJustice.org for a schedule.  As always, you are an important 
 part of the conversation.  Come with your questions and comments and be a 
 part of the studio audience.  Watching from home or on the internet? Phone
