About this Program

The Bernard L. Schwartz Fellows Program supports talented journalists, academics and other public policy analysts who offer a fresh and often unpredictable perspective on the major challenges facing our society. Schwartz Fellows are selected on a highly competitive basis, and serve -- some full-time, some on an adjunct basis -- for one or two years. New America provides them with a non-partisan intellectual community where they can pursue their individual research projects. The Schwartz Fellows benefit from their engagement with each other, and with New America's various policy programs, while their presence adds to the intellectual verve of the institution and helps shape its longer-term agenda and focus.

At a January 20th New America event, an esteemed panel came together to discuss what happens when authority and technology collide. In light of Google's recent announcement that they will no longer abide by China's censorship laws, the panel addressed the ethical, legal, and operational impediments for businesses that wish operate in China and other countries attempting to control access to information. The panel consisted of Alec Ross, Senior Adviser for Innovation in the Office of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; Tim Wu, Schwartz Fellow and Columbia Law Professor; Rebecca MacKinnon, Fellow at the Open Society Institute and Co-Founder of Global Voices Online; and Evgeny Morozov, Contributing Editor for Foreign Policy Magazine and Yahoo! Fellow in the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy at Georgetown University. James Fallow, member of the board at the New America Foundation, moderated the panel of experts.
