Christopher Ruddy is the CEO of Newsmax Media which publishes Newsmax.com and broadcasts the Newsmax TV network. In April 2010, media-industry magazine Folio named Ruddy to its "FOLIO 40" an "annual list of magazine industry influencers and innovators".〔(Folio 40 ), foliomag.com, April 1, 2010.〕 ==Background== Ruddy grew up on Long Island, New York, where his father was a decorated police officer in Nassau County. He graduated from Chaminade High School in Mineola, New York before graduating ''summa cum laude'' with a degree in history from St. John's University, New York in 1987.〔(Christopher Ruddy's biography ), NewsMax.com; retrieved 2010-04-10.〕〔(St. John's University, Honor Roll of Donors, Benefactors' Council ): Christopher W. Ruddy '87 CBA; retrieved 2007-12-31.〕 He earned a master's degree in public policy from the London School of Economics〔 and also studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.〔(Profile ), BusinessWeek.com; accessed February 24, 2015.〕 He worked briefly as a bilingual high school social studies teacher in the Bronx, New York. Ruddy holds an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from St. John's University. Early in his career, Ruddy was editor-in-chief of a conservative monthly periodical known as the ''New York Guardian''.〔Navrozov, Lev. ("Are U.S. Economic Statistics Accurate?" ), newsmax.com, July 8, 2005.〕 While with the ''Guardian'', Ruddy gained notice for debunking a story in the PBS documentary ''Liberators: Fighting on Two Fronts in World War II'' that an all-black army unit had liberated the Buchenwald and Dachau concentration camps. Ruddy called the documentary an example of "how the media can manipulate facts and narratives to create a revised history both believable and untrue similar to the events of 9/11".〔Moldea, op. cit., pp. 144–45.〕 PBS subsequently withdrew its support for the documentary, following an independent investigation by the American Jewish Committee. Ruddy then moved to the ''New York Post'', which he joined as an investigative reporter late in the summer of 1993. After initially writing about abuse of Social Security disability benefits, he focused on the Whitewater scandal involving then President Bill Clinton. In 1995 he joined the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review as a national correspondent covering the Clinton White House and other stories. Since 1996, Ruddy has been Media Fellow at the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University. Ruddy serves on the Board of Directors of the Financial Publishers Association,〔(Financial Publishers Association )〕 an industry trade group representing the nation's financial media. He is a member of the International Council, chaired by Dr. Henry Kissinger, at the CSIS, a bipartisan Washington, DC think-tank focused on national security and foreign affairs. Ruddy also served as a representative on the U.S. delegation headed by Senators Joseph Lieberman and Lindsey Graham to the NATO 44th Munich Security Conference.〔(Munich Security Conference list of participants ), securityconference.de; accessed February 24, 2015. 〕 From 2009 to 2013, Ruddy served on the board of directors of the American Swiss Foundation, a non-profit organization that fosters relations between the two countries. In 2015, Ruddy was elected to the Zweig Fund and the Zweig Total Return Funds, two New York Stock Exchange-traded closed-end funds managed by Virtus. In January 2010, Britain's ''Daily Telegraph'' ranked Ruddy as one of the "100 Most Influential Conservatives" in the U.S. The paper said: "Chris Ruddy is an increasingly powerful and influential player in the conservative media and beyond." 〔Harden, Toby.("The most influential US conservatives" ), Telegraph.Co.UK, January 12, 2010.〕 Ruddy has been both a "Patron" and a "Sustaining Donor"〔(Wikimedia Foundation 2007/2008 Annual Report )〕 to the Wikimedia Foundation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christopher Ruddy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
