As longtime editor of TIME magazine and former Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, Richard Stengel has seen and led the transformation of mainstream media. He was also the president and CEO of the National Constitution Center. As a New York Times best-selling author and journalist, Stengel speaks widely on fake news and disinformation, the case for national service, diplomacy, and leadership lessons derived from reporting on the world’s greatest leaders. In the 1990s, Stengel collaborated with Nelson Mandela on the South African’s autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom. Making his own headlines, this month Stengel released Mandela: The Lost Tapes on Audible, revealing never-before-heard audio from Stengel’s interviews with the Nobel Prize winner, freedom fighter, and former South African president.ee
