taks story, michael kress

Here’s my (non-Zambia) story in today’s paper. Probably not worth your time.
Also of note in today’s paper: this profile of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the late spiritual leader of Hasidic Judaism. It’s of note for at least two reasons: (1) the great headline, “Rebbe With A Cause,” and (2) it’s written by Michael Kress, my first editor-in-chief at my college newspaper.
Finally, I’ve finished updating zambiastories.com, including the addition of about 50 photos relating to tomorrow’s story in the DMN. (The captions will make more sense if you’ve read the story first.)

  1. That’s an effective photo narrative, Josh, even without your full story for context. Looking forward to reading the piece tomorrow. I was particularly moved by number 17, where suddenly the coffin shape is recognizable–the task in abstract becoming concrete. Thanks.

  2. Oh, Josh, it’s so SAD! 🙁
    Thanks for sharing what you saw. It’s a nice reality-check. (And makes Egypt look relatively well-off in comparison.)
    Great captions, by the way. I was pleasantly surprised that you were so informal about it all, since it’s work-related.
    Off to thank my lucky stars,
