The theme for the evening is “Breakthrough 2013: From Washington to the Middle East, Can Political Impasses Be Broken?” Through this lens, these world-class journalists will examine crucial issues including debt, taxes, immigration, and gun laws. They will also address long-standing conflicts in the Middle East from the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace process to tension over Iran’s nuclear program, seeking openings for moving forward.

Chaddock is a veteran journalist with a decade-plus experience covering Capitol Hill. (See recent Monitor story on President Obama’s second inauguration.) Feldmann covers the White House from the Monitor’s Washington bureau. (See recent Monitor story on avoiding the March 1 sequester.) As the Monitor’s Jerusalem bureau chief, Bryant provides coverage on Israel and the Palestinian territories as well as regional issues. (See recent Monitor story on the impact of women entrepreneurs on the Palestinian economy.)

“For 105 years, the Monitor has been committed to news that goes beyond the headlines, that seeks out people who are trying to bridge gaps, solve problems, and make a difference in the world,” says Monitor editor John Yemma. “It’s not enough, in other words, simply to report on the world’s troubles—though we do that without flinching. Our reporters and editors are trained to take the next step, to help readers think more deeply, share what they know with others, and take constructive action. Right now it seems especially important to break out of rigid positions, whether in Washington or the Middle East. That’s what we’ll be exploring at this year’s Monitor Night Live.”
