Global Fellow, PS21
Rasha Elass returned to the United States last year after covering the Middle East for over 10 years. She was based inside Syria to cover the uprising-turned-civil war for several media outlets, including Reuters, LA Times, National Public Radio (NPR), The World (PRI / BBC Radio), and International Business Times (IBT.com), often covering the war without a byline for security reasons. She is currently a global fellow with PS21, the Project for the Study of the 21st Century.
