Airwaves & Liberty

I received the following message from Aaron earlier today. Aaron hosted and co-produced Pacifica’s coverage of the Winter Soldier events in the DC area earlier this year. He has two books coming out in the next few months on the stories and testimony of returning veterans. Congratulations Aaron!

I’m very pleased to announce I’ve received a fellowship from the Carter Center’s Mental Health Program. The Rosalynn Carter Fellowship for Mental Health Journalism will help fund my continued research and reporting, and provide me with continuing education and support on challenges Iraq and Afghanistan veterans face returning to school after serving in a war-zone.

Together, with the fellowship I received from the Hechinger Institute at Columbia University Teachers College, the Carter Center fellowship will free me up to continue in-depth, investigative journalism that highlights the human costs of the war at home and simple steps that can be taken to help ameliorate these problems.

Check out the work Aaron and others have done in this area at the KPFA site WarComesHome.org.
