Brazil Rising (Coming Summer 2008)
Brazil.
It conjures up images of carnival, the beaches of
Rio, The Girl From Ipanema, and the
samba.
But a new
Brazil
is emerging on the world stage.
Brazil
today is one of the fastest growing players in the global economy, a
bio-fuels
pioneer on the fast track to energy self-sufficiency, a booming haven
for
foreign investment, and a test case for a new approach to governance in
Latin
America.
Can
Brazil
successfully chart a new path that overcomes the country’s grinding
poverty and
its tide of violent crime, while still preserving the country’s unique
environment?
Will the new
Brazil
continue as a strategic partner for the
United
States or could it become
a formidable
competitor? How will the rest of the world accommodate
Brazil’s
seemingly unstoppable growth?
In “Brazil Rising,” scheduled for release in
Summer 2008, veteran public radio journalist David
Brown takes listeners on a personal journey across the
country, exploring
Brazil’s
view of itself, its neighbors, and the
world.
“Brazil Rising”—produced by Simon Marks,
Kristin
McHugh, and Keith
Porter—is a Stanley Foundation production
in association with KQED Public Radio and KUT
Austin.

BEYOND FEAR:
America's Role in an Uncertain World
David Brancaccio hosts and reports for the special one-hour documentary "Beyond Fear: America's Role in an Uncertain World."
Every day the latest headlines reflect a world filled with fear.
Terrorism, war, disaster, and disease are grim realities brought closer to home in our increasingly connected world. And, they ultimately shape America's national security and foreign policies.
But fear itself cannot drive our daily lives.
Released in May 2007, "Beyond Fear" goes beyond the headlines with expert insight and field reporting from Africa, Asia, and Europe and explores new scenarios for US global leadership built on common action, trust, and hope. Audio, transcripts, and more.
"Beyond Fear" is a production of the Stanley Foundation in association with KQED Public Radio.
The full program along with promotional materials are now available on PRX. |

24/7: The Rise and Influence of Arab Media
Released in April 2006, "24/7: The Rise and Influence of Arab Media" examines the dramatic expansion of open media in the Arab world. The program, hosted by David Brancaccio of the PBS television program NOW, won the National Press Club's Edwin M. Hood Diplomatic Correspondence Award for excellence in reporting on diplomatic and foreign policy issues.
How does this rapidly changing spectrum impact the United States, the Middle East, and the world? Will it lead to greater understanding or fuel tension, fear, and hatred?
Security Check: Confronting Today's Global Threats
In May 2005, the foundation released "Security Check: Confronting Today's Global Threats" in association with KQED Public Radio in San Francisco, the nation's most-listened to public radio station.
