Indonesians visit Park University
A group of six Indonesian journalists visited Park University on Friday, Feb. 3 to tour the campus and learn more about peace journalism and disinformation.

The visitors are touring the U.S. as part of the State Department's International Visitors Leadership program. The visit was arranged by Global Ties-Kansas City.

My presentation about PJ basics and disinformation sparked a heated discussion about the nature of terrorism, and the difficulty in defining it. We also discussed Indonesian law, and how it constrains the practice of good journalism. For most of the participants, this was their first exposure to peace journalism. I'm hoping the session gave them lots of food for thought as they move forward in their professional careers.
