I can still feel the heat and hear the roar of that erupting volcano in the Galapagos Islands.

This professional communicator/news junkie applauds their approach. A combination of concise language, brief video clips, targeted testimony and social media content – supported by extensive factfinding – is helping all of us understand the impact and origins of one of the “darkest days of our democracy.”
