The Center for Journalism Ethics and the Lubar Institute for the Study of the Abrahamic Religions are proud to welcome UW-Madison alumnus Anthony Shadid (BA'90, Journalism & Political Science), a two-time Pulitzer Award winner, back to campus.
Shadid will deliver the public lecture, The Truths We Tell: Reporting on Faith, War and the Fate of Iraq, on Thursday, December 2, 2010 from 4:30-6pm in the Alumni Room of the Pyle Center.
Shadid is a foreign correspondent for The New York Times and is stationed in Baghdad.
Fluent in Arabic, he has focused much of his work on the experiences of the Iraqi citizens, which he highlighted in his highly acclaimed book, Night Draws Near: Iraq's People in the Shadow of America's War.
Shadid has been reporting from the Middle East for over 15 years for the Boston Globe, Associated Press, the Washington Post, and now The New York Times.
This visit, partially funded by the University Lectures Committee, will also allow Shadid to meet with interested students and local journalists to further discuss the topics of religion and reporting.
