Business: Tribune Media Services to syndicate column by Samantha Power

Chicago, IL. (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - Tribune Media Services, the syndication and licensing unit of Tribune Company, today announced at the 61st World Newspaper Conference in Gothenburg, Sweden, its international syndication of Samantha Power's TIME magazine column on world affairs.

Acknowledged as one of the most respected new voices in foreign-policy analysis, Power, 37, is Professor of Practice of Global Leadership and Public Policy at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government.

She also served as foreign-policy adviser to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Power is the author of two best-selling books, including "'A Problem from Hell': America and the Age of Genocide," which won the Pulitzer in 2002. Her latest best-seller, "Chasing the Flame: Sergio Vieira de Mello and the Fight to Save the World," chronicles the life of a U.N. diplomat from Brazil who was killed in a suicide bombing of U.N. headquarters in Baghdad in 2003.

TMS will have exclusive rights to sell her TIME column to international markets, according to Mary Elson, TMS managing editor. "We are thrilled to have a columnist of Samantha Power's stature and knowledge in the TMS lineup," she said.

Power became a TIME columnist in 2007 and has covered such subjects as Canada's role in the war in Afghanistan, implications of continuing ethnic tensions in Kosovo, U.S. policy in Iran and Turkey and the plight of Iraqi refugees.

Power has also been profiled in many major publications.
