Writing Here:     What they say about duckrabbit:'One of the hazards of publishing a well-known photojournalism blog - getting multimedia like yours, where the photos are both powerful and moving, and I end up in tears at my desk.' Alan Taylor, Boston Big Picture) 'David White's multimedia work with duckrabbit is very exciting.' Kate Edwards (Guardian Magazine Picture Editor) 'I am a fan of duckrabbit. I am not a fan because I agree with everything Ben has to say, but because he says it without frills and then will spend the time necessary to engage the consequent discussions. Such commitment is a priceless commodity.' 'I met one of them at an academic conference in the summer. He was the sanest person there, but sure enough by damn gadnabbit ruffled more than a few fluffed up peacock feathers.' 'If you haven't seen the duckrabbit blog on multimedia you should.' 'duckrabbit has done another jaw-dropping job with Condition Critical, a highly commendable and important project for Medecins Sans Frontiers.' Categories

Don McCullin is not only a great photographer but he’s also a great talker. I caught him this morning on the BBC’s TODAY programme. It was a powerful listen. Important too to hear a photographer talk about the cost to his mental health of the work he does. The BBC are hosting an audio slideshow: Don [...] February 3rd, 2010 | Category: Audio Slideshow, I am trying to break your heart, conflict, documentary, human rights, journalism, multimedia | 2 comments

This powerful audio slideshow is brought impressively to life by Olince Calixte, a blind street musician from Port au Prince. It’s also a journey from pain, trauma and shock through to the first signs of recovery. For me it tells a much more balanced story of the aftermath than many sets of photos out there.

Very roughly some 2000 years ago we nailed some bloke called Jesus to a tree. Nothing new about that. Nailing people to trees was a rather effective form of crowd control. Since then though a lot of people have been following this Jesus bloke. One of his oft quoted mantras was treat other people people as you [...] December 25th, 2009 | Tags: Audio Slideshow, Condition Critical, Congo, MSF | Category: AFRICA, Audio Slideshow, I am trying to break your heart, development communications, documentary, duckrabbit, human rights, journalism, multimedia | One comment

(click on photo, the video player will load, then click again to play) It’s one of those moments you don’t forget. This term I’ve been a guest lecturer at Birmingham City University.

Adam Westbrook was one of a number of bloggers who followed up on duckrabbit’s post on MSF’s new cinema advert with a much wider analysis of how charities communicate: ‘At the heart of this lies the important question of how charities choose to spread their word.

When duckrabbit lived in Ethiopia the radio programmes that I managed regularly told stories of women and children who had been the victims of sexual violence. The stories were horrific. To say that that the problem is endemic is to put it mildly. Sexual violence against women and children is rampant the world [...] July 7th, 2009 | Tags: conflict, Congo, Kate Geraghty, Kimberley Porteous, MSF, Rape | Category: AFRICA, Audio Slideshow, I am trying to break your heart, Production, So What Do You Think?, Training, conflict, development communications, documentary, duckrabbit, human rights, journalism, multimedia, portraits | 4 comments

make it personal. Maddi, the seven-year-old daughter of British hostage Jason Creswell, wrote to her father in May 2009 to say how much she missed him.

There’s a quiet and thoughtful audio slideshow running on the BBC about the harsh reality of life for many of Zimabawe’s children. Take a moment out of your day to watch it and to reflect how ‘man hands on misery to man.’ The suffering in this world is only matched by the mass indifference towards it.
