Kalb was the first director of the Joan Shorenstein Center
on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
He is now a Senior Fellow in the Center's Washington office, where he researches the media's impact on public policy.
He also hosts the monthly Kalb Report program at the National Press Club and is a contributing news analyst on Fox News Channel. In addition, he is frequently called upon to comment on major issues of the day by many of the nation's leading networks, newspapers, and radio stations.
Kalb had a distinguished 30-year broadcast career, working for both CBS News and NBC News, where he served as Chief Diplomatic Correspondent, Moscow Bureau Chief,
and moderator of Meet the Press. Among his
many honors are two Peabody Awards, the DuPont Prize from
Columbia University, and more than a half-dozen Overseas Press
Club awards. He has lectured at many universities, here and abroad, and in 1994-95 he was a visiting professor and scholar at The George Washington University.
A graduate
of the City College of New York, Kalb has an M.A. from Harvard
and was zeroing in on his Ph.D. in Russian history when he
left Cambridge in 1956 for a Moscow assignment with the State
Department. The following year, he joined CBS News, the last correspondent hired by Edward R. Murrow. Kalb has authored or co-authored 10 nonfiction books and two best-selling novels.
His latest book, The Media and the War on Terrorism (co-edited with Stephen Hess), is the recipient of the 2004 Arthur Rowse Award for Press Criticism. He is currently absorbed in research for a book on the impact of negative TV ads on presidential campaigns.
