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.

Rosenblum’s 2007 cri de coeur – ESCAPING PLATO’S CAVE: How America’s Blindness to the Rest of the World Threatens Our Survival – somehow failed to save the planet. He is trying again, more cheerfully, with LITTLE BUNCH OF MADMEN: Elements of Global Reporting. An author’s note explains:

“It is tempting to ignore far-off news. With so much already clouding our line of sight, who needs more problems beyond the horizon? Yet, as British commentator Andrew Marr puts it, free people either play a part in shaping their common destiny or they are deserters. This little book is for those not prepared to desert. It is aimed at journalists and students who look beyond borders, but also anyone else who wants to keep track of a complex world.”
