Again from the continuing series of our reporting at Fault Lines being followed by other media, last week NPR quoted our story in a piece it ran about the gold boom happening in Colombia right now.

When we filmed this episode (above) in April, the price of gold was at an “historic high” of $1,500; now, only four months later, I feel naive for thinking that was a lot. Today gold is selling for near $1,900 an ounce, which goes a long way to explaining why I’m a journalist and not an investor.
