I realize this is a digression from what this blog is about, but I feel like it's important to say nonetheless--however controversial it may be. The following is an essay I originally wrote to be published, but realized it was not appropriate for the ... Read more >

Last night, Israel held it's largest mass of rallies and protests to date: more than 450,000 people showed up all over the country (mostly in Tel Aviv) to protest the economy that has paralyzed much of the middle class, and the major problems of social ... Read more >

Hi everyone, I know there hasn't been a whole lot of action on this blog for awhile, but with the beginning of school and being in that in-between time between pitching stories and producing stories, there's not a lot to tell. Here's just a round-... Read more >

Today I plan to start the painful business of transcribing and organizing all of my audio. I can't begin any other editing (except for photo editing) without it, and it's the backbone of my work. It will be sad to hear some of the voices of the people ... Read more >

Now, my dear readers, comes the not-so-fun part of this news ordeal--pitching it to news outlets in hopes that they will give me a break and let me publish. After talking to the chair of my thesis committee, I'm going to attempt to get at least a few ... Read more >

This is just a rough clip of the rally. More videos and media to come as I edit my project.

First day (days? considering I time-traveled 10 hours the wrong direction while traveling 24 hours...)back in LA. I have two things to say: 1. I slept til 2:30pm. It's now 3pm. I'll be back asleep by 4pm because I am exhausted beyond all points of ... Read more >

Last night was unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it (as far as rallies and protests go.) It was just...I really don't have the words. I'm still processing last night because so much happened and I spoke with so many people. As we were walking ... Read more >

Yesterday was an epic day in Tel Aviv. I had the ability to wander around for about 5 hours taking photos, recording audio, and capturing video. I also had a little extra time to shop for everyone! The tent city there was unbelievable. It just kept ... Read more >

To sum up the first of my protest adventures, I'd call it a great success! I arrived last night knowing one person there (and by know, I mean, I knew her name and that she knew some English and that she could introduce me to other people.) Within three ... Read more >

Tonight I made my first connection here at Gevim with a student that I had run into the night before with my host. She lives here at the kibbutz and is also a journalism student (yay!) She's involved with the tent city in Sderot and is going to let me ... Read more >

I landed in Israel at 11am (Israeli time) and am just getting myself unpacked and sorted (and caught up on email.) The Kibbutz is pretty awesome (photos to come) and it's literally next door to the college. We have a beautiful big pool. The downside ... Read more >

At 4:30am, the Roadrunner taxi van will pick me up and whisk me away to LAX. To say that I am anxious is putting it mildly. I am fairly certain that the continuous raise in blood pressure that I'm sure to experience over the next 36 hours will take five ... Read more >

Today I exchanged my money for 'New Israeli Sheqels' (the Israeli currency.) Last week, it was $1 to 4NIS; today it was $1 to 3NIS. What a lesson in world economics to watch the value of the dollar drop right before my eyes. When I came home, I broke ... Read more >

While reading various articles about the housing protests in Israel (centered in Tel Aviv) I learned that many Israelis have many colorful, derogatory terms for the people who live in Tel Aviv (or as they not-so-nicely say, "the state of Tel Aviv.... Read more >

I'm getting down to the nitty-gritty. All I have left to do is purchase my travel insurance, pack, and figure out how I'm getting to LAX on Sunday. I'm a little bit anxious about my journey (never was too fond of flying), and this is definitely the ... Read more >

It's less than one week til I head back to Israel, almost one year after I first went. I'm a very different person this time around, with a very different reason for going. Last year, I had just graduated from college with my BA in Anthropology and ... Read more >
