WTH: Is Europe Lost? Adam O'Neal Explains.

Europe’s center of gravity has shifted eastward, and few
political leaders stand out as capable of leading the necessary
changes to revitalize, rather than regulate, the aging West. The
Washington Post’s new editorial vision hopes to address these
concerns, shaping how we think about ourselves and our allies in
the coming years. The first step in avoiding Europe’s fate here
at home is confronting the complacency that assumes we could
never backslide. And part of that responsibility rests with the
media. What can we learn from Europe? Which policies should we
avoid imitating? And how will a more diverse editorial page
report on them?


Adam O’Neal currently serves as the Opinion Editor at the
Washington Post. Prior to that, Adam worked as a correspondent
for The Economist, as an Executive Editor for the Dispatch, and
as a Wall Street Journal editorial page writer. Previously he
worked as a Vatican correspondent for Rome Reports and as a
political reporter in Washington, D.C.
