Inspiration from a Father: Johan Galtung Interviewed by Henrik Urdal
Henrik Urdal | PRIO - TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Apr 2020

Antonio C. S. Rosa | Editor – TRANSCEND Media Service, 21 Oct 2019
Galtung was jailed in Norway for six months at age 24 as a Conscientious Objector to serving in the military, after having done 12 months of civilian service, the same time as those doing military service.

Johan Galtung, a Pioneer: Conceptualizing Peace Journalism
Antonio C. S. Rosa, M.A. | Editor - TRANSCEND Media Service, 22 Oct 2018
Before the 19th century, we had “disease journalists” who reported in detail how epidemics were spreading and how people suffered. Today we have “health journalists” who write about current research on new cures and therapies, and inform about healthy lifestyles promoting health as a value.
