What Participants Say

I have always believed that the best way to create positive and lasting changes in our societies is to support and empower all people to become agents of change in our communities, and hence, in our world. A mission shared and fostered by IVOH and its participants. -Luong Ung, Author, First They Killed My Father, Lucky Child

IVOH connects me to a group of thinkers, dreamers, and doers in media that had been far outside my usual circle. And my life and work are much richer for it.
-Michael Skoler, Executive Director, The Center for Innovation in Journalism @ American Public Media

Many journalism organizations, media reform groups, movements, and campaigns already exist. Your focus is quite different. It takes a strike at helping us clarify personal mission and purpose, and then think of ways to amplify and leverage our impact.
-Jon Funabiki, Professor, Department of Journalism, San Francisco State University

...an affirmation and celebration of our collective effort in using storytelling to bring hope and resilience to the people of Africa and the world. -Yvonne Kgame, General Manager, Content Hub for the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC)

...an opportunity to talk and reflect together on the way our work affects society and its sense of possibility about the future. . . . it is a discussion well worth having.
-David Lawrence Jr., Former Publisher of the Miami Herald
