American Voices
Three well-known columnists with wide-ranging backgrounds. Three distinct viewpoints. Three talented, insightful writers. Three uniquely American voices. TMS' commentary collection, American Voices, is a weekly package of columnists who can bring compelling perspectives on politics and culture, the economy, foreign affairs and the issues impacting the decisions of today's 18-30 year olds.
The package includes:
Robert Reich: Former U.S. Labor Secretary, Reich now serves as professor of public policy at the University of California at Berkeley. He writes regular commentaries for www.publicradio.org and his most recent book is "Supercapitalism."
Joel Brinkley: A former New York Times foreign correspondent, Brinkley is now Hearst Professional in Residence for the journalism program at Stanford University. Along with his weekly foreign-affairs column, he has written several books.
Rachel Marsden: Columnist, political strategist and former Fox News host Rachel Marsden is a rising voice in conservative commentary. Her columns have appeared in a variety of high-profile publications in America and abroad, and she is a frequent guest commentator on radio and television news shows.
