Schieffer School partners with think tank

College will stage a seriesĀ of monthly dialogues on public policy and the media with Center for Strategic and International Studies.

TCU’s Schieffer School of Journalism has teamed with the renowned Washington, D.C., think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) for a series of monthly dialogues on public policy and the media. The programs are broadcast live and can be viewed atwww.schiefferschool.tcu.edu.

The first dialogue in February discussed the status of U.S. efforts in Afghanistan. The second, in March, focused on Iraq and featured Rajiv Chandrasekaran, national editor of The Washington Post and the author of Imperial Life in the Emerald City; Nancy Youssef, chief Pentagon correspondent for McClatchy newspapers who has spent the last four years covering Iraq, most recently as the Bagdad Bureau Chief; and Anthony H. Cordesman, who holds the Arleigh A. Burke, chair in strategy at CSIS. Cordesman is also a national security analyst for ABC News. His analysis has been featured prominently during the Gulf War, Desert Fox and the conflict in Kosovo.

“This is a great opportunity for the Schieffer School, since CSIS is one of the most respected institutions of its kind in the world,” said Bob Schieffer ’59. “Their resident fellows and associates are called upon by every major news organization every day to provide insight into the complex issues facing the world.”

CSIS is a bipartisan, independent, nonprofit organization that provides strategic insights and policy solutions to decision makers in government, international institutions, the private sector and civil society. It has earned the reputation of being one the world’s preeminent public policy institutions.
