FALL 2002 LECTURE SERIES
THE MEDIA AND AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY- WHO’S ON FIRST? a panel discussion with STEPHEN IVES VIVIAN SCHILLER and STEPHEN SEGALLER Moderated by PETER B. KAUFMAN A central question in our day is whether the press—as the fabled Fourth Estate—really does function as an unofficial check or balance on the powers of the executive, legislative, and judiciary. What impact does the media have on U.S. foreign policy? In recent wars and conflicts, from the Persian Gulf War to Operation Enduring Freedom, the foreign-policy apparatus has been roundly criticized as having too much impact on the media’s work and conduct. What foot is the shoe on? Who’s on first? Senior television executives who study and report on this question, which is only growing in importance, will help us explore the answers.
