Michaela Haas
Journalist
German author, intellectual, and media personality who contributed to cultural programs and news commentary around Germany.
She studied journalism in Munich and then began hosting Live aus dem Alabama, a weekly youth-oriented TV talk show.
Outside of her work in the media, she founded a consulting company to train business and media professionals in media image and presentation.
She was born in Germany.
Gore Vidal, the acclaimed author and playwright, was another public intellectual – perhaps the American version of Michaela.
