About the Series: Staff Profile
Name: Tesfaye NegussiePosition: Correspondents' Assistant Most memorable experience at NOW: I was helping out on the set during David Brancaccio's interview with Tariq Ali for the show Our Pakistan Problem. Even though Ali's interview focused on Obama's policies towards Pakistan, I was taken by Ali's interest in the history and current situation of African-Americans. Guilty pleasure: Cigars—I try not to indulge too much... In the past: I graduated from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism in May of 2008 with a concentration in broadcast journalism. Before that I worked as an editorial aid for The Washington Post Magazine, and interned for Washington Post Radio/TV. Favorite NOW Shows: My favorite episode of NOW opened my eyes to the stories of young girls around the world who are forced into marriage because of poverty and tradition. This show gives a whole new idea to battling the dire health situation in Africa—Franchised Health Care. An innovative idea to a problem that I am very concerned about. Robert Kuttner offers, what some might consider, "radical ideas" for Obama to return America back to its position before the Bush Administration. |
