Let America Decide: The Report of the Twentieth Century Fund Task Force on Presidential Debates [Paperback]

Anthony Corrado (Editor), Twentieth Century Fund Task Force on Presidential Debates (Corporate Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1996

Presidential debates have been a centerpiece of the past five elections. While it is unlikely that any serious presidential candidate would refuse the American public's appetite for open discussion, some issues--such as what debate format works best--are still not resolved. In continuation of its longstanding involvement in presidential debates, the Twentieth Century Fund initiated a task force to investigate such questions. The task force was chaired by James Hoge, editor of Foreign Affairs and former editor of New York's Daily News and the Chicago Sun-Times. Other members of the task force include John Anderson, professor at Nova University Center for the Study of Law and former presidential candidate and Congressman; Hodding Carter III, president, Main Street TV Productions; Michael Dukakis, professor, Northeastern University and former presidential candidate and Governor or Massachusetts; Larry Grossman, president, Horizons Cable Network and former president, NBC News and PBS; Ellen Hume, senior fellow, Annenberg Washington Program; Kathleen Hall Jamieson, dean and professor, the Annenberg School for Communication; David Norcross, general counsel, Republican National Committee; and Ed Turner, executive vice president, CNN.
