Honored Work: “Reading, Writing and Hate”
With Israelis, Palestinians, and others groping toward peace, Sachs examined what the children of the region are learning about each other. Her series confirmed that while political leaders talk of reconciliation, schoolchildren in every country in the region are still learning to hate their neighbors. “Reading, Writing and Hate” is a model of well-conceived and 2፡1. executed journalism, thorough and balanced yet extraordinarily engaging.
