Before joining the prestigious East West Institute in 2008 as Vice President and Director of Public Policy, our guest, Andrew Nagorski, spent more than three decades as an award winning foreign correspondent and editor for Newsweek magazine.

Serving as Newsweek's Bureau Chief in Hong Kong, Moscow, Rome, Bonn, Warsaw and Berlin, he gained international notoriety when the Soviet government, angry about his enterprising, relentless reporting, expelled him from the country. 

From January 2000 to July 2008, Nagorski served as senior editor for Newsweek International, handling the editorial cooperation between the parent magazine and its expanding network of foreign language editions. He helped launch several new magazines: Newsweek Arabic in 2000; Newsweek Polska, which has become Poland's leading newsmagazine since it was launched in 2001; Newsweek Russia in 2004; and Newsweek Argentina in 2006. Nagorski also continued to write reviews and commentaries for Newsweek and countless other publications. He has been honored three times by the Overseas Press Club for his reporting.
