James F. Hoge's career exemplifies both journalistic success and a savvy understanding of international affairs. Currently the editor of Foreign Affairs magazine, Hoge spent more than three decades in daily journalism, covering national and international news and political events all over the world.

During the 1960s, he covered Congress and the White House for The Chicago Sun Times, where he went on to serve as editor from 1968 to 1976. Under his leadership, The Sun Times garnered six Pulitzer prizes for journalistic excellence. In 1984, Hoge moved to New York as president and publisher of The Daily News - adding yet another Pulitzer Prize to his list of awards.

Hoge got his first close-up view of American foreign policy in 1962 as a Congressional Fellow of the American Political Science Association. Later, during his years in Chicago, he was chairman of the Adlai E. Stevenson Institute of International Affairs, Vice-Chairman of the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, a director of the U.S./South African Leadership Exchange Program, and a member of the Japan/U.S. Friendship Commission.

At the lecture podium, Hoge translates his three decades of experience into enlightening and insightful presentations on the strategic challenges facing the U.S, global economics, major trends in U.S. politics and the role of the media in the modern world.
