Journalist Chosen to Lead a Public Policy Institute

JOURNALIST CHOSEN TO LEAD A PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE
[SOURCE: New York Times, AUTHOR: Patricia Cohen]
Steve Coll, whose résumé as a journalist includes two Pulitzer Prizes, a stint as managing editor of The Washington Post and a job as a staff writer at The New Yorker, is now ready to try his hand at something else: a Washington public policy institute. Mr. Coll plans to take over a nonpartisan public policy institute, the New America Foundation, in September, succeeding the founding president, Ted Halstead. Mr. Coll said he was drawn to the job by the caliber of ideas coming from the group and its interest in finding new ways to disseminate them.
