Summary

I want to give you a quick update on the case of Hollman Morris, the Colombian journalist whose visa application has been rejected by the U. S. government. Hollman was set to come here to Harvard for the next year under a Nieman Fellowship. He has produced journalism critical of the Colombian government, and that appears to have been a factor in why the State Department took the extraordinary step of preventing an honored journalist from entering the country.
