Allan Thompson, Assistant Professor at Carleton University, is launching The Media and the Rwanda Genocide, the first book to explore both the international and local dimensions of the media equation during the genocide. “More comprehensive and accurate reporting about the Rwanda genocide could have changed the behaviour of the perpetrators, mitigating the slaughter’’, writes Thompson in the book.

Allan Thompson is currently promoting the book in the UK, East Africa and the US. He is writing a fascinating blog on his experiences at http://www.allanthompson.ca/blog.html
