Journalism Fellow Brooke Williams' hard-hitting article, "Foreign Powers Buy Influence at Think Tanks," is featured on the front page of today's New York Times. Her investigation, with Eric Lipton and Nicholas Confessore, shows that "more than a dozen prominent Washington research groups have received tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments in recent years while pushing United States government officials to adopt policies that often reflect the donors’ priorities. . . . The money is increasingly transforming the once-staid think-tank world into a muscular arm of foreign governments’ lobbying in Washington. And it has set off troubling questions about intellectual freedom: Some scholars say they have been pressured to reach conclusions friendly to the government financing the research."
