Once the envy of the world, U.S. media outlets have abandoned foreign coverage over the last decade. Many newspapers shuttered all of their foreign bureaus. The result is that Americans know less about the world than previous generations—just at the moment when the world is most connected. Round Earth Media is turning the lights back on, bringing context and depth to lost international coverage. Their successful work is a partnership with bi-national teams of early career journalists who reach audiences around the world. Their stories have won the highest awards in journalism including a 2014 Peabody (broadcasting's Pulitzer Prize).
Round Earth Media has quite the Carleton heritage: Mary Stucky '77 is the co-founder, Executive Director and lead journalist; Ann Mond Johnson '77 is a board member as is our featured speaker, Brad Lehrman '77.
