It wasn’t until college that @margbrennan decided to pursue journalism. She embarked on a career covering financial markets and geopolitics at CNBC and Bloomberg TV, before eventually joining CBS News as a correspondent. In 2018, she became only the second woman ever to anchor Face the Nation, the network’s flagship Sunday morning news program—and She currently sits on CFR’s board of directors. Brennan spoke to us about the connection between economics and geopolitics, an unforgettable interview with the president of Syria, and what drives good journalists. "We need really good, fundamentally strong journalists who are analysts, not activists. People who feel the responsibility and weight of the information they convey. I fundamentally believe that the information journalists convey is part and parcel of a well-functioning democracy." cfr.org/articles/how-i-got-m…
