Maria Ressa
Author of Seeds of Terror
Former CNN Bureau Chief, Jakarta
November 10, 2011
10:00 a.m. â 11:30 a.m.
University of Southern California
Lecture Title:
âFrom Bin Laden to Facebookâ
A look at how terrorism has evolved in Southeast Asia through an exciting new discipline thatâs come of age in the past decade: social network theory.
The study of social networks merges personal psychology, group dynamics and sociology with new technology to look at how emotions and complex behavior spread through societies. Maria Ressa fuses this with lessons learned from personal experiences in two areas: as head of a crisis team during an Abu Sayyaf kidnapping; and as head of a multi-media election campaign for the Philippinesâ largest television network (the campaign won numerous international awards for its use of citizen journalism and social media).
She looks specifically at Al-Qaeda and Jemaah Islamiyah, the spread of the ideology, the evolution of both groups and provides a paradigm for analyzing the future.
Biography: Maria A. Ressa has been a journalist in Asia for 25 years, nearly two decades as CNNâs bureau chief in Manila then Jakarta. As the former CNN lead investigative reporter focusing on terrorism, Ms. Ressa wrote the first book from the region documenting the growth of Jemaah Islamiyah and its links to Al-Qaeda, Seeds of Terror: An Eyewitness Account of Al-Qaedaâs Newest Center of Operations in Southeast Asia. For the past six years, she determined strategic direction and managed about 1,000 journalists for ABS-CBN, the largest multi-media, multi-platform news operations in the Philippines. Her work aimed to redefine journalism, combining traditional broadcast, new media and mobile phone technology for social change.
A graduate of Princeton University, she taught courses in broadcasting and political science at the University of the Philippines and Princeton University. She is writing her next book as the Author-in-Residence at the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research at RSIS in Singapore.
