Along with my wife and business partner, Gina Cappo Pack, I have been producing documentaries for many years. Over 15 of our films have been nationally broadcast on PBS. All have won awards and garnered many favorable reviews. (A full list of our films along with clips can be found at www.ManifoldProductions.com.) So, I am a maker of culture, a practitioner, not just a critic or expert.
In addition, I have run some major cultural institutions, including serving as president of the Claremont Institute, senior vice president for television programming at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and CEO of the US Agency for Global Media and the US government’s international broadcasters, including the Voice of America. So, I also have the perspective of a media executive. And, I have watched numerous conservative efforts to take back the culture and the media over the years. Those are my bona fides.
