Jeanne Meserve Biography

Jeanne Meserve is widely recognized for her pioneering role in homeland security reporting, having established CNN's homeland security beat following the September 11th attacks. During her tenure from 1992 to 2011, she covered a broad array of security topics including intelligence, law enforcement, cyber, aviation, border, and port security. Meserve's in-depth reporting and ability to secure exclusive information, such as being the first to report on the devastating flooding in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, underscore her expertise and commitment to journalism.

Currently, Meserve serves as an International Security Expert for Canada’s CTV News, while continuing to enhance public understanding of security issues through her role as a senior fellow at the George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute. She remains active in the field as a member of the Aspen Institute Homeland Security Advisory Group and as president of Shore Road Multimedia LLC, specializing in homeland security communications issues. Her work in crisis communications has been informed by her on-the-ground reporting of major crises such as Hurricane Katrina, the Washington snipers, the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping, and the Virginia Tech shootings.

Beyond her reporting, Meserve has garnered respect as a skilled moderator and communicator. She leads discussions on a wide array of topics including national security, politics, and crisis management, and has provided communication coaching to leaders across various sectors such as corporations, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and government. Her contributions to the field have been recognized with two Emmys, the Edward R. Murrow Award, and her pivotal role in CNN's award-winning coverage of significant events like the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and the death of Princess Diana. Meserve's educational background includes a B.A. in English Literature from Middlebury College, where she was also honored with the Alumni Achievement Award.

Jeanne Meserve Speaking Topics

  • Can You Hear Me Now?

    More than a decade after the September 11th attacks and more than five years after Hurricane Katrina, surveys show that only a small percentage of Americans have taken even rudimentary steps to prepare themselves and their families for emergencies. Jeanne Meserve examines why and asks how government and community leaders can more effectively communicate with the public before, during and after an emergency.

  • Risk and Frisk

    Millions of dollars have been spent in the name of homeland security since the September 11th attacks. Jeanne Meserve uses vivid examples from her decade covering the issue to examine whether money has been spent wisely, where vulnerabilities remain and what America has lost and gained in the process. She also looks forward to suggest how we might do more in a time of less.

  • Moderator and Interviewer

    As the anchor of CNNs coverage of Yitzhak Rabins assassination, Princess Dianas death and other breaking news events, Jeanne Meserve has gathered awards and accolades for her insightful interviews of world leaders and everyday citizens. She understands how to illuminate a subject through one-on-one interactions and group discussions.
