Creative Visions Foundation : Media that Matters : Home

Creative Visions Foundation supports and nurtures "creative activists:" people who use media, the arts and technology to inform, inspire, and empower others to create positive action in the world.

Creative Visions Foundation was founded by Dan Eldon's mother and sister, Kathy Eldon and Amy Eldon Turteltaub following his death in Mogadishu working as a photographer for Reuters News Agency in 1993. The foundation was formed to celebrate Dan Eldon and others like him who use their creativity as a means of positive social change.

	Kathy Eldon and Michael Bedner have asked that in lieu of a wedding present, they would be grateful for a donation to the Creative Visions Foundation, which will assist the foundation and its projects, including a Dan Eldon Fellowship for Journalists at Risk and the expansion of the Dan Eldon traveling exhibit, "Images of War, Celebrations of Peace".	Click the donate button and in the Payment Information comment section write: Kathy and Michael.

	> Every night at 10 p.m., the 10m (32ft) glass and steel cone on top of BBC Broadcasting House in central London will shine a beam of light into the sky. It is dedicated to all news journalists and those who have worked with them, including drivers and translators. Over the past 10 years an estimated two war reporters have died each week, with many more killed covering corruption. Read the article here.
