He has appeared on radio and television programs worldwide including “The McLaughlin Group,” “Crossfire” and “Good Morning America.”

Prior to the 1994 elections, Snow was the writer, correspondent and host of a PBS news special, “The New Militant Center,” which anticipated some of the upsets that shook the political establishment.

In 1991, Snow took a sabbatical from journalism to work in the White House for George Bush, first as chief speech writer and later as deputy assistant to the president for media affairs (1992-93).

Snow began his journalism career in 1979 as an editorial writer for the “Greensboro Record” in North Carolina. He later served as an editorial writer at “The Virginian-Pilot” in Norfolk, Virginia (1981-82), editorial page editor of “The Daily Press” in Newport News (1982-84), deputy editorial page editor of “The Detroit News” (1984-87) and editorial page editor of “The Washington Times” (1987-91).

Snow received his bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Davidson College, North Carolina, in 1977, and studied philosophy and economics at the University of Chicago during the 1978-79 academic year. He taught school in Kenya and in Cincinnati and worked as an advocate for the mentally ill and developmentally disabled in North Carolina.
