J2J Fellow Collins Mtika Jailed, Released In Malawi
0 comments
Journalist Collins Mtika was jailed in Malawi for four days last week, in horrendous conditions, after reporting on anti-government protests. We met Collins last year in Atlanta, when he was among 22 fellows chosen to participate in our training for an international conference on AIDS vaccine research. Also in that group was Tom Paulson, now editing the Humanosphere blog for NPR station KPLU in Seattle. The J2J connection kicked in when Tom heard about the arrest. Here’s a link to Tom’s coverage of Collins’s ordeal, one more reminder of how important -- and dangerous -- the work of journalists can be.
