**Clarification of Exactly What We Did and Did not Say To the Media**
Web Version
Word Document Version

One thing that we did not anticipate, but which was clearly observable following the coverage of our research in the media, was the response of diverse individuals within and outside of Rwanda. Some were comments requesting clarification about exactly what we said; some were extremely hostile remarks about our research and us as human beings; some were thankful that such research was being undertaken; and, some were relatively vague. These have been provided below, with identifying information removed.

The initial press statement: "Rwanda 1994: more than genocide"

Distorted media coverage: "They deny genocide!"

The project strikes back: "No, genocide + something else"

Excellent media coverage: "It was more than genocide"
