The media turns to Heritage on Georgia
August 19, 2008| By Nathaniel Ward
As the events in Georgia unfolded, the media turned to The Heritage Foundation’s experts for their insights and analysis.
Television and radio shows quickly called Heritage for the conservative take on the Russian invasion. Our experts appeared on national programs on CNN, Fox News, Fox Business Channel, PBS, Reuters TV, Cox TV, C-SPAN, CNN Radio, the Talk Radio Network, Westwood One and NPR. They also took to the airwaves on local stations including KFAQ, KMBZ, KOA, KOMO, KPAM, KRLD, KSLR, KVI, WAVA, WBT, WTIC, WTTG and WWTN.
Heritage experts Ariel Cohen, Helle Dale, Yevgeny Volk, James Carafano, Peter Brooks and Nile Gardiner got the word out in the print media. They were quoted in such publications as the Boston Globe, the Christian Science Monitor, the Moscow Times, National Review Online, the New York Post, the New York Sun, the Politico, Radio Free Europe, the St. Petersburg Times, London’s Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Times (in several different articles and editorials).
Several news agencies, whose articles are syndicated nationwide, also spoke with Heritage experts about Georgia: the Associated Press, McClatchy News Service and Agence France-Presse. And Heritage research also caught the attention of the websites of the New York Times and Washington Post.
