Among the numerous reasons you attend conferences is
to meet like-minded people, folks you might envision
remaining in touch with and perhaps even
collaborating with down the line. Chatting with
French broadcast journalist Patrice Barrat over
dinner in Peace Village back in October, however, I
had no idea that, only two months later, the two of
us would be working together on a project in
Alexandria, Egypt.

Three new U.S. media centers are bringing passion
and purpose to the media by nurturing new methods
and models for gathering and sharing news and
information. The Center for Renaissance Journalism,
Knight Center for International Media, and American
Public Media's Center for Innovation in Journalism
all reach beyond the boundaries of traditional media
to reengage the public and tap energies and insights
across disciplines. We spoke with the three
directors (Jon Funabiki pictured) to learn more
about what they hope to accomplish and contribute.

Being an all around artist, I am no stranger to the
power of brainstorming and collective exploration of
a theme. It has always made sense to me that
involving more people in the pursuit of an end goal
is truly beneficial. The IV of Hope 2007 world
summit was such an experience. The broad view of the
four-day gathering is simple: a group of like-minded
intellectuals, through the lens of their particular
discipline, gave thought and voice to important
global issues that affect us all. A closer look
reveals much more. The words "transforming,"
"inspiring," "necessary" come to mind.

Don't miss this summit!
After many years away, David
Cooperrider (Professor at
Case Western Reserve
University and one of the
founders of Images and
Voices of Hope) will be back
with us. He will moderate
the Friday panel on
"Personal Mission and Social
Impact." Someone else you
don't want to miss is Bob
Steele of the Poynter
Institute. The Nelson
Poynter Scholar for
Journalism Values, he will
facilitate the journalism
session on Saturday and the
general "all media session"
that follows.

Though it may be difficult
to find, there is a culture
flourishing in our country
apart from pop culture, and
it is finally getting the
attention it deserves. In
2005, a new musical ensemble
called
Juventas
formed with a focus
primarily on young
talent-music composed by
those under the age of 35.
Based in Boston, Juventas
will be performing September
15 in the day-long free
artists' consortium, called
"UpLifted,"
that is being co-sponsored
by IV of Hope Boston as well
as at this year's summit.

Truth in Translation
is everything contemporary
theater should ultimately
be, with a challenging
story, sterling cast, biting
social commentary, and
emotional impact. It deals
with apartheid. Its central
focus is the Truth and
Reconciliation (TRC)
hearings, which opened the
wounds as people who
committed crimes in the name
of apartheid stepped forward
and asked to be forgiven by
the families of those they
tortured or murdered.

Hello to each one of you and
welcome to the first issue
of the Images & Voices of
Hope e-newsletter, an
electronic publication we
will send out quarterly. It
was wonderful to be with so
many of you at this year's
summit, and for those of you
who weren't there, you
missed a great time. Jon Funabiki-formerly at the
Ford Foundation in the media
division and now a professor
at San Francisco State
University-framed up "little
media" for us as a counter
to "big media." When some
objected to the "little"
part of the name, he
suggested "passion media."

French Canadian journalist
Eugenie Francouer always
wanted to go to Nepal. She
had tried and been denied
entrance to the ancient
country only two years ago.
Synchronicity must have
played a role in making her
dream a reality when she and
Susan Kocsis of Search for
Common Ground, both honored
with Awards of Appreciation,
met at the Images & Voices
of Hope world summit last
fall.

Meredith Porte,
producer and host of WLRN-TV's
ArtStreet, and her editor
turned to each other at
exactly the same moment and
shared a knowing laugh.
Without saying a word, they
knew. There it was:
inspiration. Even when
ArtStreet contributing
producer/director Richard
Fendelman's camera is aimed
directly at his subject, his
calming presence encourages
ingenuousness. That's maybe
why they work so well
together: intention.
Click here to see the IV
of Hope world summit video
that resulted from their
collaboration.
