Carol Leonnig

ソーシャルリンク:

Carol Leonnig is an American investigative journalist at The Washington Post who focuses on the White House, national security, and government accountability. She is known for Zero Fail and, with Philip Rucker, A Very Stable Genius and I Alone Can Fix It. A Pulitzer Prize winner, her reporting has shaped scrutiny of presidential power and the Secret Service.

経歴と著者の歩み

Carol Leonnig grew up in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and found her direction in journalism early. At Bryn Mawr College, where she studied anthropology and edited the Bryn Mawr-Haverford Bi-College News, one freshman assignment about a sledding accident and a delayed emergency response showed her how reporting could reconstruct official failure from small documentary clues. After college she moved into daily newspaper work at the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Charlotte Observer, developing the beat-reporting discipline that would later define her career in covering government and accountability.
