Professor Robert Hooper is an award-winning television producer and international educator whose research examines the role of media in interethnic conflict resolution, terrorism, environmental policy, and human rights. He serves as an adviser to the Press Institute of Bangladesh where he develops current affairs television programs and educates reporters for the nation’s television networks. His workshops offered in Bangladesh, Malaysia, Laos, and Indonesia are an effort to educate reporters and strengthen democratic institutions, civil society, transparency, and the rule of law.
