At "On Faith," moderators Sally Quinn and Jon Meacham get to ask the questions.
This week at Georgetown University, they'll be answering them as well.
Quinn and Meacham will be two of the seven panelists discussing "What it means to be Muslim in America," a symposium that begins a new partnership between On Faith and Georgetown.
"Their role is to shine a harsh light on the gap in understanding between non-Muslims and Muslims in America, including citing actual comments and commentary from 'On Faith,' and to elaborate on the enormous, complicated, far-reaching consequences of this gap," said Kyle Gibson, who will be directing the symposium.
Quinn was a reporter for The Washington Post’s “Style” section in the 1970s and 1980s, producing irreverent and often controversial profiles of celebrities and politicians. Before long, she was one of the paper’s most celebrated writers.
At age 32, she left The Post to become co-anchor for “CBS Morning News.” It was a frustrating and short-lived experience that she chronicled in her first book, We’re Going to Make You a Star…
Quinn returned to Washington and continues to write for the Post. She also has written three other books: Regrets Only, Happy Endings, and The Party. Quinn is married to Benjamin Bradlee, retired executive editor of the Post who currently is vice-president at-large for the company. They live in Washington with their son, Quinn.
Meacham was named editor of Newsweek in October 2006. His book, American Gospel: God, the Founding Fathers, and the Making of a Nation, has become a bestseller since its publication in early 2006.
Meacham began his journalism career as a reporter with The Chattanooga Times from 1991-1992. He was an editor for two years at The Washington Monthly. After arriving at Newsweek in January 1995, he became National Affairs editor in June of that year, supervising coverage of politics and breaking news. He was Newsweek’s managing editor from 1998-2006.
