Hi Everyone,

We want to thank Julian Sher, for joining us today on very special Monday morning radio show, you can listen to the interview here: Julian Sher, interview!

Yes, you heard right, we had Julian Sher, the creator and webmaster of JournalismNet, he is an award-winning documentary TV producer and the author of five investigative books, Including Caught in the Web: Inside the Police Hunt to Rescue Children from Online Predators! You can get your own copy of  his book here @ Amazon.com

Book Description: Award-winning journalist Julian Sher goes behind the headlines about child pornography to describe how police officers, prosecutors, and high-tech analysts are fighting back against a tide of abuse to save victims.

Granted extraordinary access by law enforcement agencies worldwide, Sher talks with FBI investigators, Department of Homeland Security, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Interpol, New Scotland Yard, and sex crimes units in Canada and Australia.

Drawing on candid jailhouse interviews in penitentiaries, court Confessions, and hidden blogs, Sher exposes the dark underbelly of the Web to reveal how predators isolate and groom their victims; how they use secret Internet chat rooms to swap images of abuse and security tips and tricks to foil the police; and how shady entrepreneurs make millions from the trade of child exploitation material.

In riveting detail, we see how clue-by-clue, and image-by-image, investigators use CSI-type techniques and old-fashioned hard detective work to track down the predators. From Microsoft’s headquarters in Redmond to a global child protection center in London, England, a new generation of computer technology is being developed to make the web safer for children.

Included are the latest tips and resources for parents, children, and teens wanting to ensure safety online. The Internet has helped make child abuse terrifyingly common – it is the new face of crime in the 21st century.

He is also an Internet trainer and consultant for top media clients around the globe. Sher is also a web guru. He is the creator and webmaster of JournalismNet, ranked by Google as one of the world’s top ten journalism sites on the web and he has trained journalists around the world to master the Internet as a tool for investigative reporting. Chris Cramer, head of CNN International, hailed JournalismNet as his “absolute favourite” web site.

Sher was invited to CNN headquarters in Atlanta to train their senior news staff. Sher, who lived in Boston for three years, has also addressed major media gatherings, including the Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) convention and the Washington Writers Conference. In Europe, clients include the BBC, ITN, SkyTV and CNBC.
