Michael Otterman in the Herald
Scott Brinton, Hofstra journalism professor and editor-in-chief of the Merrick and Bellmore (NY) Herald newspapers, writes:
What I see in Michael is a remarkable symbol of hope. He’s a young man. He published “American Torture” while still a graduate student. So often I hear from the ’60s generation that young people aren’t built the way they used to be. They bemoan the apparent lack of activism these days. Where are all the protest marches? they wonder. What Michael shows in no uncertain terms — and what my Hofstra students continually remind me — is that young people are very much engaged in the world these days.
Today’s 20-somethings are media savvy and sophisticated in their global understanding. They’re not as showy as previous generations might have been. But make no mistake: They’re making a difference.
Thanks, Mike.
