How about some entertainment news? I know you don’t come to the Foreign Policy Association for entertainment news, but I thought perhaps my U.S. Role readers would be interested in a new television project by the CBS network. They are producing an end-of-the-decade look at America’s position in the world that will feature reports from all of the network’s news divisions. According to the press release:

With the new decade on the horizon, CBS News will take an in-depth look at key areas that affect all Americans. “Our expectations for the future, our sense of America’s place in the world, even our national priorities all seem in flux,” said Sean McManus, president of CBS News and Sports. “We want to provide our viewers with a report card on America through compelling stories across all CBS News platforms and broadcasts that will present honest assessments of areas with the greatest impact on our individual lives as well as our national preparedness.” The multi-week series, titled CBS REPORTS: Where America Stands, starts in January 2010, and will provide benchmarks for where the country stands today and an outlook for the future decade. Programming will appear on a variety of CBS News platforms, including The CBS Evening News, The Early Show, Face the Nation, Sunday Morning and CBS Radio News, as well as CBSNews.com.

The series will highlight foreign policy as well as domestic policy, including reports on defense, diplomacy, terror threats, and global interdependence.
