Mnar Muhawesh: A Force to Be Reckoned With

April 26, 2016 By Zainab Merchant Leave a Comment

Mnar Muhawesh was nine years old when her family moved to Jerusalem from Minnesota. But even then, Mnar quickly realized she had moved into apartheid.

“I saw road blocks, checkpoints, the building of the wall and families being separated from each other” she says from her meeting room in Minneapolis, Minn.

A year later, when her family returned to Minnesota, Muhawesh was shocked to learn that no one understood what was happening in Palestine and throughout the Middle East. “I turned to the media for answers. But all I saw was fear mongering or people being labeled from a religious and Orientalist perspective.”

Media Deception & U.S. Intervention: ProMosaik Interviews Caleb T. Maupin

October 28, 2015 By Dr. Milena Rampoldi Leave a Comment

Dr. Milena Rampoldi interviewed MintPress journalist Caleb Maupin to accompany the German translation of his article on the legacy of Zbigniew Brzezinski.

Caleb Maupin is a journalist and political analyst who resides in New York City, focusing his coverage on US foreign policy and the global system of monopoly capitalism and imperialism. This month we have published this article by Caleb because we think that understanding American strategies can help us see why there is no peace. And opposing to US-militarism, for ProMosaik e.V., means promoting peace building, in particular in the Middle East.

Originally from Ohio, Caleb studied political science at Baldwin-Wallace College. In addition to his journalism, analysis, and commentary, he has engaged in political activism. He was part of the Occupy Wall Street movement from its early planning stages in August 2011. He has worked against police brutality, mass incarceration, and imperialist war. He has appeared on Russia Today, PressTV, Telesur, and CNN.

In 2014, he participated in the voyage of Iran Shahed Rescue Ship, attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Yemen with the Red Crescent Society of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Objectivity And Neutrality Are A Myth

September 9, 2015 By Kit O'Connell Leave a Comment

Dr. Rampoldi plans to begin translating articles from MintPress News for ProMosaik, her international organization that promotes interfaith peace and understanding. She interviewed me by way of introducing my work and MintPress overall. -Kit

Dr. Milena Rampoldi, ProMosaik: What are the main steps of the historical development of Mint Press?

Kit O’Connell, MintPress News: Mnar Muhawesh launched MintPress News in 2012, after working for years as an independent journalist and after becoming the first American woman to wear the hijab as a reporter and news anchor. Mnar has never been afraid to stand out in a crowd and MintPress has followed in that philosophy, telling stories most other outlets won’t touch.
