Howard Bragman was one of the most recognized public relations professionals in America. He took his 30+ years of agency experience, in virtually every area of PR, and became the "go-to" guy on television to explain celebrity misbehavior, corporate crisis and the role of "spin" in our everyday lives. He was a frequent contributor to ABC's Good Morning America (1975), and PR expert on CNN and MSNBC.
He founded "Fifteen Minutes" in 2005, which evolved into a respected American boutique entertainment public relations agency. His personal participation included high-level strategy, top-tier media contacts, crisis communications, media training and agency vision and values. Prior to "Fifteen Minutes", he founded "BNC", which became the largest entertainment PR agency in the world. He sold the agency to IPG in 2000.
Prior to that, he was a Vice President at the PR firm Burson-Marsteller. In addition to his agency work, Bragman was an award-winning adjunct professor at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communications and is the author of the bestselling book, "Where's My Fifteen Minutes? (Penguin/Portfolio, 2008).
He received numerous awards and recognition for his work as a political activist for those with HIV/AIDS, GLBT Civil Rights and Jewish causes.

The first female dean of USC Annenberg, Bay oversees more than 200 faculty and staff, and more than 2,500 undergraduate and graduate students across the fields of communication, journalism, public relations and public diplomacy.
As dean, Bay has led academic and research innovations while strengthening USC Annenberg's connections with the communication fields. She launched a series of curricular improvements, including an expansion of the school's experiential education and career development programs. Since her installation in 2017, Bay also has focused on advancing the school's portfolio of innovative research that delivers insights, challenges assumptions and offers knowledge-based solutions to drive change. She has increased USC Annenberg's partnerships with its industries of practice as well as bolstered the school's academic and financial foundations through endowed support for faculty chairs, student success, diversity in journalism, and conversations amplifying mental health.
Bay has increased Annenberg's public engagement around critical issues such as the role of communication technology in advancing equity and access, digital media literacy, gender equity in media and communication, and sports and social change. A skilled television interviewer, Bay has also led conversations with a number of global influencers, including former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. She has also attracted highly visible speakers to campus, including Jorge Ramos, Oprah Winfrey and Maverick Carter.
Prior to her role as dean, Bay spent three years as director of the USC Annenberg School of Journalism (2014-'17) and guided the 2014 launch of the state-of-the-art media center in Wallis Annenberg Hall, a newsroom, classroom and incubator of new ideas open to students across the university. During that time, she also introduced the school's new Bachelor of Arts in Journalism degree program and welcomed the first cohort of the school's nine-month Master of Science in Journalism program.
Bay's academic and industry engagement is focused on the intersection of media, technology and business. Building on research from her first book, Talking to Your Kids in Tough Times: How to Answer Your Child's Questions about the World We Live In (Warner Books, 2003), she is the co-author of a series of global research reports on the impact of mobile technologies on teens and parents titled "The New Normal."
Bay came to USC Annenberg from her post as senior editor and senior strategic advisor of The Huffington Post, where she managed editorial content and growth initiatives for the pioneering online news site. Her prominent broadcast experience includes reporting and anchoring for ABC News' Good Morning America/Sunday and serving as a correspondent for Good Morning America and World News Weekend.

- CNN's main anchor in Washington, D.C., Shaw, who co-anchored "The International Hour" and The World Today (1992), made a name for himself in the 1988 U.S. presidential debates when he shocked candidate Michael Dukakis with his opening question asking if Dukakis would drop his opposition to the death penalty if his wife were raped and killed. It is thought that Dukakis, being caught off-guard and responding meekly, lost a lot of momentum and support. Shaw, in an interview later that year, angered vice presidential candidate Dan Quayle by asking him if he had joined the National Guard out of fear of being drafted and killed in Vietnam. Before joining CNN, Shaw worked at ABC news for three years, during which time he was a senior Capitol Hill correspondent and bureau chief. He was one of the first reporters on scene at the Jonestown, Guyana, mass suicide, as well as being on the scene early during the 1979 Tehran hostage crisis. He began his career at WNUS in Chicago, Illinois, one of the country's first all-news radio stations.*
