Collection Creator Biography:

Hoge, James F.

James Fulton Hoge, Jr. (1935-) is a well-known speaker and writer on international affairs, with extensive knowledge of US foreign policy, media issues, and the rise of Asia. Hoge is perhaps best known for his tenure as Editor and Peter G. Peterson Chair of Foreign Affairs, a bi-monthly magazine of analysis and commentary on international affairs and US foreign policy. Prior to joining Foreign Affairs in 1992, Hoge spent three decades in newspaper journalism as a Washington correspondent, then editor-in-chief and publisher of The Chicago Sun-Times and lastly as publisher of The New York Daily News. Both papers won Pulitzer Prizes while under his direction. During his twelve years at Foreign Affairs, the magazine more than doubled its circulation, developed Spanish, Japanese, and Russian editions, and became a well-respected authoritative voice on key matters of foreign policy. Hoge has written many articles, book reviews, and op-ed pieces as well as edited books on international affairs, and has participated in multiple round-table discussions, interviews and seminars examining key foreign affairs developments. He has been a fellow at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government and the Freedom Forum Media Center at Columbia University, and served on the American Political Science Association's Congressional Program. He serves as a Board member or advisor to numerous organizations, including the International Center for Journalists and the Center for Global Affairs at New York University. He is currently Chair of Human Rights Watch.
