  • Doris Kearns Goodwin
    Connecting You with the World's Greatest Minds Doris Kearns Goodwin Doris Kearns Goodwin is a world-renowned presidential historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Goodwin is the author of six critically acclaimed and New York Times best-selling books, including her most recent, The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism (November, 2013). Winner of the Carnegie Medal, The Bully Pulpit is a dynamic history of the first decade of the Progressive era, that tumultuous time when the nation was coming unseamed and reform was in the air. Steven Spielberg’s DreamWorks Studios has acquired the film and television rights to the book. Spielberg and Goodwin previously worked together on Lincoln, based in part on Goodwin’s award-winning Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, an epic tome that illuminates Lincoln's political genius, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president. Team of Rivals was awarded the prestigious Lincoln Prize, the inaugural Book Prize for American History, and Goodwin in 2016 was the first historian to receive the Lincoln Leadership Prize from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation. The film Lincoln grossed $275 million at the box office and earned 12 Academy Award® nominations, including an Academy Award for actor Daniel Day-Lewis for his portrayal of President Abraham Lincoln. Goodwin was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in history for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II, and is the author of the best sellers Wait Till Next Year, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream and The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys, which was adapted into an award-winning five-part TV miniseries.

  • Charlie Rose Latest to Fall in Harassment Scandal
    Charlie Rose Latest to Fall in Harassment Scandal Ronn Torossian, CEO, 5WPR Yet another media giant has been felled after multiple allegations of sexual harassment piled up to sink his career. Other than Bill O’Reilly, who was fired from Fox after his accusers went public, the unceremonious end to Charlie Rose’s media career may have been the biggest headline yet. Both CBS and PBS parted ways with the popular news anchor after multiple women came forward with some very specific allegations against Rose. In a blunt statement, CBS said: Charlie Rose (Photo source: Twitter) “A short time ago we terminated Charlie Rose’s employment with CBS News, effective immediately… This followed the revelation yesterday of extremely disturbing and intolerable behavior said to have revolved around his PBS program. Despite Charlie’s important journalistic contribution to our news division, there is absolutely nothing more important, in this or any organization, than ensuring a safe, professional workplace — a supportive environment where people feel they can do their best work. We need to be such a place.” Let’s unpack that statement from Public a Relations perspective… First, it should be said that Rose produced his own program, which was then distributed on CBS and PBS networks. However, because the intricacies of this contract were not public knowledge, Rose was effectively a very public face for both networks. They needed to make a clean, public cut to demonstrate their independence from his brand. This is one step in the process Fox fumbled a bit with O’Reilly, and they are still taking hits over it.

  • United States Foreign Policy in the Middle East and North Africa: Ideology, Hegemony, and Grand Strategy Under the Presidencies of George W
    United States Foreign Policy in the Middle East and North Africa: Ideology, Hegemony, and Grand Strategy under the Presidencies of George W. Bush and Barack Obama Julian Velasquez Master’s Candidate CIFE- Mediterranean Branch 2015-2016 Thesis Supervisor: Matthias Waechter 1 The United States of America has been the world’s preeminent superpower for the majority of contemporary living memory. As the sole possessors of the world’s most formidable military power, the U.S.’s international presence has been highly visible through countless military interventions and armed intrusions the world over. Both criticized and lauded for this expansive presence around the globe, the U. S.’s reach goes far beyond military capacity- American economics, politics, culture, and traditions traverse across international boundaries and permeate even the most remote of societies. This study focuses the majority of its analysis on the last two leaders of the U.S., Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, who have guided American foreign policy from the commencement of the 21st century until present day. Personified by their differences and similarities within the ideological justification and means of U.S. manifestations, including waging the two major wars of the post-September 11th era and beyond, each President’s administration can be analyzed for their specific beliefs concerning the role of American hegemony, the U.S.’s role within international affairs, and the methods for going about achieving these different objectives. Especially relevant concerning the current state of international affairs in the Middle East and North Africa today, the United States’ prominent position in world politics cannot be dismissed or disregarded in the study of the past, present, and future outlooks for one of the most influential and significant regions in the world.
