It's easy to use media to foster hate. Hear how an innovative group uses media to DEFUSE ethnic tensions

from TWO REPORTERS · host David K. Shipler & Daniel Zwerdling

In this uplifting chat, John Marks joins us again to tell how Search for Common Ground created radio and TV programs from Africa to Asia - designed to help bring former enemies together. His case studies from Burundi, Kenya and the Democratic Republic of the Congo show how Search’s broadcasts helped soothe conflicts between warring groups, and reduced the scourge of rape by rampaging soldiers. The programs obviously are no panacea, but as John says, they are “keeping hope alive.”
