The 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 9-month stay in Nablus. He will discuss the current and historical situation inside occupied Palestine. Nora Barrows-Friedman, 29, 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/
