Harrison "Lee" Rainie
Director
Pew Internet & American Life Project
  Harrison "Lee" Rainie is the director of the Pew Internet & American Life Project, an initiative that explores the impact of the Internet on communities, the work place, schools, health care and civic life. [Disclosure alert: The primary funder of the Pew Internet & American Life Project is The Pew Charitable Trusts, also a funder of Consumer Reports WebWatch.]

Rainie was formerly the managing editor of U.S. News & World Report. During his 12 years at the magazine, he edited in several departments, including the magazine's online operations, its national news section, and its culture and trends section.

Over the years, eight of the stories or special editions of the magazine that he edited were finalists for the National Magazine Award, the magazine industry's equivalent of daily journalism's Pulitzer Prize. Other stories he has overseen have won the top prizes for education, science, health, environmental, and religious coverage.

He has appeared on numerous television news shows as an analyst and commentator on national affairs, including ABC-TV's "Nightline," CBS-TV's "48 Hours" and "Face the Nation," NBC-TV's "Meet the Press," each of the network's morning shows, and a variety of news and feature programs on cable TV.
