A Conversation with James Hoge, Editor of Foreign Affairs
Date: Friday, April 16th
Time: 4:00PM
Location: Orozco Room, 66 W. 12th St. 7th Fl
In the now famous article from 1997 in the Columbia Journalism Review, James Hoge argued that the US perceives the world beyond its borders as largely irrelevant. Unless there is a serious crisis or war, or an international event bears direct relation to American interests, the nation and its media pay no attention. In this conversation Hoge will focus on changes in the media as well as within the fields of international affairs and foreign policy over the last decade.
James Hoge is Editor of Foreign Affairs, a bi-monthly magazine of analysis and commentary on international affairs and U.S. foreign policy. Prior to joining Foreign Affairs in 1992, he spent three decades in newspaper journalism as a Washington correspondent, then editor and publisher of The Chicago Sun-Times and finally as publisher and president of The New York Daily News. He has been a Fellow at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, the Freedom Forum Media Center at Columbia University and on the American Political Science Association's Congressional program. He is Chairman of the International Center for Journalists, a director of Human Rights Watch, and a director of the Center for Global Affairs at New York University.
