Peace Matters - The Palm Beach Post Fails Domestic Violence

Missing an opportunity to educate and empower the South Florida community, The Palm Beach Post newspaper, in its 7/6/12 West Palm Beach coverage of the Marlena Baptiste murder (read the article here), opted instead to deliver an unbalanced report of this tragic story. In this episode of Peace Matters, hosts Shandra D and Jane W discuss why all citizens should be up in arms about reporting which excuses abusive behavior and fails to reach out to local domestic violence professionals for insight, perspective, clarity and solutions. Shandra and Jane also take a moment to recognize the Avon Foundation for its continued commitment to the domestic violence community.
