Issues Affecting America: Responsible
Citizenship Fall 2008
For a generation savvy about media biases — and packaging,
Gideon Yago frames complex issues in an unbiased, insightful
format. His presentation is a hip look at the presidential race and
other newsworthy events around the world. For the 2008 Presidential
elections, Yago has been the host of MTV and MySpace.com’s
Presidential Dialogues, conducting interviews with and hosting town
halls on-air and online for Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. John McCain,
Sen. Barack Obama, Gov. Mike Huckabee, Sen. John Edwards and Ron
Paul.
For seven years, Gideon Yago was the face of news and current
events to millions of young adults in America. As a correspondent
and producer for MTV News, Yago led the network’s coverage of
elections, wars, national crises and social trends affecting young
people. He has received numerous awards, including an Emmy for his
coverage of the 2004 election, a George Foster Peabody Award for
his work in MTV’s “Fight For Your Rights: Sexual Health” campaign
and an Edward R. Murrow Award in 2004 for outstanding documentary
coverage of the Iraq war.
