He also served as an editorial writer covering foreign affairs and defense issues, and as National Editor for the Tribune. With degrees granted by Harvard University and Northwestern University, Rowley now lectures in the Master of Science in Communication Program at Northwestern’s School of Communication and also teaches the global journalism class on Israel to undergraduates, as well as the politics seminar for graduate students, at Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism.
