\u201cI heard about your organization through a good friend<\/em> \u2013 Carole Radziwill reveals – After reading about the work you do in nearly twenty countries around the world, I knew I wanted to help bring awareness of your organization to the United States<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>. <\/em>We meet Carole Radziwill as she is joining INTERSOS as an ambassador in the US, to help the organization raise awareness on the importance of supporting humanitarian action worldwide.\u00a0The decision of supporting INTERSOS is clearly in line with Radziwill\u2019s illustrious professional career and current life trajectory: \u201cWhen I left reality television<\/em> \u2013 she tells – many people asked if I would return to network news. But I knew at the time I\u00a0would never go back. First, network news was not as I remembered it from the 90s. News has become so partisan, more talk show TV than anything close to what I recall\u201d. <\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The connection with INTERSOS is adding a new facet to Carole\u2019s already rich and vibrant persona and is, in a sense, bringing her back to the roots of her successful career in journalism. \u201cWhat I loved about working in news was the ability to bring awareness of the lives of others who, merely through the accident of birth, were not as privileged as I have been. Also, I think it\u2019s important for people to understand\u00a0the real-life consequences of the political policies of our country and other countries<\/strong>.\u00a0Working with NGO\u2019s is exactly like what I did for news without having to meet story deadlines. Win-Win.\u201d\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n While committing to this new adventure, she feels \u201cthrilled\u201d to introduce INTERSOS to her friends, colleagues, and social community, with the hope \u201cto do a little good in the world\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, a strong appetite for new adventures, and a clear vision of what she can achieve: \u201c<\/em>Well<\/em> \u2013 she confesses – I can\u2019t say I would have predicted my journey in life would include a reality show but here we are:\u00a0I’m known for my honest, straight forward, no nonsense talk. The\u00a0\u201cvoice of reason\u201d on what was, at times, a volatile and unpredictable show. It wasn\u2019t\u00a0always easy. \u00a0But\u00a0being on\u00a0television for over six years has afforded me a large and loud platform. I\u2019d like to use it,\u00a0in part, to educate and inform and in that way get back to my first love\u00a0\u2014\u00a0non-fiction\u00a0storytelling.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n With her notable journalistic background, Carole is committed to travel and report from the frontlines of humanitarian crises. \u201c<\/strong><\/em>I think it\u2019s important to see first-hand the programs that you run in other countries<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 she underlines – There is nothing like boots-on-the-ground to give one a complete understanding, not only of the programs but of the stories that led to the crisis. Like most journalists, we aren\u2019t afraid to go to places that normal people wouldn\u2019t think about going. I recall after the Gulf War broke out, I was assigned to cover the SCUD missile attacks in Israel. I couldn\u2019t think of another place I\u2019d rather be, except for maybe Kuwait. It\u2019s a thing with journalists, maybe we feel more alive in the frayed edges of life. I don\u2019t know\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Among the crises Carole has covered during her journalistic career is Afghanistan.<\/strong> She visited the country back in 2001, spending six weeks in Kandahar. A country where, 20 years later, INTERSOS is still present to help the population in need. \u201cLike most Americans, I was saddened to see our troops leave last August amongst the violence –<\/em>she says – and seemingly without shoring up the support the Afghans needed to build back their country. I would be honored to be even a small part in rising above the political fray and addressing the humanitarian goals that the people of Afghanistan are so deserving of. I am in awe of NGO’s and aid workers who stay and persevere without feeling completely hopeless.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Carole\u2019s home is in New York City, one of the richest, most diverse, culturally and politically active urban areas in the world. Is there space for a low-profile, high-impact NGO like INTERSOS in such an exciting and complex city?\u00a0\u201cWell, NYC is my first love. The threshold and measure for all the rest. I could prattle on about NYC forever. I saw the city build back stronger after 9\/11. Recently, I\u2019ve seen my city bounce back after the stranglehold of the pandemic. You hear a lot of talk about what doesn\u2019t work or crime rates, when it’s actually one of the top ten safest cities in the country. It\u2019s the NY hustle, that indefinable energy that attracted me to the city as a college kid, that moves the city forward no matter what it faces. New Yorkers are tough, we\u2019re smart and because it’s so diverse, have a sense of the world outside of ourselves. INTERSOS needs to be here and be part of everything NYC has to offer, both educationally and financially<\/strong>\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" American journalist and writer, Emmy Award-winning producer and well-known TV personality, Carole Radziwill joins INTERSOS as an ambassador in the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":95863,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-95862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCarole Radziwill is committed to report from the frontlines of humanitarian crises<\/h3>\n
