Rosenblum Mort

ex editor Int. Herald Tribune

Mort Rosenblum, reporter, author and educator, has covered stories on seven continents since the 1960s, from war in Biafra to tango dancing by the Seine. He was editor of The International Herald Tribune, special correspondent for The Associated Press, AP bureau chief in Africa, Southeast Asia, Argentina and France and founding editor of The Quarterly Dispatches. Based in France, Mort returns each year to Tucson to teach international reporting at the University of Arizona. He runs summer workshops in far-flung places for Tufts University’s Institute for Global Leadership. And he is a Worldview columnist for GlobalPost. Meantime, he grows olives in Provence, varnishes his floating headquarters in Paris and writes books including Escaping Plato's Cave: How America’s Blindness to the Rest of the World Threatens Our Survival (2007) and Little Bunch of Madmen: Elements of Global Reporting.
