Communications in Slow-Moving Crises
November 18, 2010

These panelists discuss how to approach slowly evolving but urgent stories at a time when news coverage 
has shifted inexorably from print and its variable deadlines to the constant, repetitive churn of 
cable news and instant internet information.

"'Crisis' combined with 'slow-moving' is an oxymoron, a contradiction. That is interesting. It says 
something is happening in the world that hasn’t happened before and our language hasn’t caught up 
with events.
"

Relaunching Growth in Europe
December 6, 2010

José María Aznar finds it difficult to witness the calamitous decline of Spain, a nation he led to 
robust economic health as prime minister from 1996 to 2004. The gains during his administration 
have vanished following the international financial crisis. But the economic misfortunes of Spain 
and other European nations are actually long-standing, Aznar says, and represent a profound 
underlying “political, cultural and social crisis” suffered by the entire European continent.

"I honestly believe right now that political intervention in the economy has trespassed all reasonable 
limits and has invaded areas which should not be under its scope. The consensus around the European 
social model have been damaged by this."
-José María Aznar
