Shows featuring Philip Balboni

Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Hi there,

Philip Balboni

President and CEO of the online international news outlet, GlobalPost, for which James Foley was freelance reporter at the time he was taken hostage in November 2012. Foley also was freelancing for GlobalPost when he was held for 44 days by Muammar Gaddafi’s forces in Libya in 2011. During the nearly two years Foley was held hostage in Syria before he was beheaded, Balboni worked with Foley’s family to secure his release.
