Author, Intellectual Historian Johan Norberg Joins Free To Choose Media as

New Executive Editor

Erie, PA, January 26, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Free To Choose Media (FTCM), an award-winning television
documentary film production company, today announced that Cato Senior Fellow Johan Norberg has
joined the organization as executive editor. Norberg, who has hosted numerous FTCM documentaries for
public television and FTCM's Dead Wrong online series, moves into the newly created position
immediately.
Johan's studies in intellectual history bring often overlooked perspectives to the subjects of our
documentaries, said Bob Chitester, founder and CEO of Free To Choose Network. He has a gift for
summarizing complex concepts and he is an excellent storyteller, thus making the subjects of our
productions accessible to the average television viewer.
Described as a glamorous young pro-capitalist by Washington Post, Norberg is the author and editor of
more than 15 books, including Progress: Ten Reasons to Look Forward to the Future, named by the
Economist as one of the best books of 2016; Financial Fiasco: How America's Infatuation with
Homeownership and Easy Money Created the Economic Crisis, which inspired an internationally
acclaimed documentary; and In Defense of Global Capitalism, originally published in Swedish in 2001
and since published in more than twenty countries.
Norberg has hosted a number of FTCM documentaries, including The Real Adam Smith, an exploration
of the father of modern economics; Trailblazers: The New Zealand Story, releasing to public television
stations on January 28; and Is America in Retreat?, a companion documentary to Pulitzer Prize-winning
Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens' book, releasing March 24. As executive editor, Norberg will
continue to host documentaries, produce his weekly online series, Dead Wrong, and help produce
additional projects, illuminating complex international and domestic issues and subjects.
In addition to his work with Free To Choose, Norberg pens a weekly column in Metro, Sweden's leading
newspaper, and his articles and op-eds are featured regularly in many of the world's most influential news
outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, National Interest, Forbes, and The
Spectator.
