Jeanne Meserve Biography

Jeanne Meserve has established a standard for homeland security reporting. She was the only reporter in the country who covered the September 11th attacks from their inception until their tenth anniversary. Her responsibilities have included intelligence, law enforcement, cyber security, aviation, border and port security. She has flown with a military air patrol, reported from atop a crane in Los Angeles' port, and seen undercover red teams test airport security checks. Meserve is a senior fellow at the George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute as well as a member of the Aspen Institute's Homeland Security Advisory Group. She is also the president of Shore Road Multimedia LLC, a company that specializes in homeland security communications. Meserve was the first reporter on the ground in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina to report on the terrible flooding that inundated parts of the city. CNN's coverage of the storm and its aftermath was recognized with a Peabody Award. The judges for the 2005 David Bloom Award noted her reporting demonstrated exceptional calm and compassion, as well as an unflinching regard for the truth. Her Katrina experience, as well as her coverage of other natural disasters and big criminal stories, such as the Washington snipers, the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping, and the Virginia Tech killings, have provided Meserve direct understanding of crisis communications. Meserve has written about technology and its applications to homeland security issues such as border security, nuclear detection, bioterrorism, and cyber security. She has also employed cutting-edge field technology to bring her stories to life. Her knowledge of international terrorism is supplemented by her experience as an ABC News State Department reporter, where she reported from China, the Middle East, and Europe. She anchors CNN's award-winning coverage of Yitzhak Rabin's assassination and Princess Diana's death, and she received an Edward R. Murrow Award for her reporting from Cuba on the international tug of war over Elian Gonzales. Meserve, a skilled television anchor, has moderated interviews and policy discussions for the Aspen Institute, Council on Foreign Relations, Bipartisan Policy Center, Intelligence and National Security Alliance, and Halifax International Security Forum. She frequently addresses academic and policy organizations. Meserve graduated from Middlebury College with a B.A. in English Literature and is a winner of the college's Alumni Achievement Award.
