传记与作者历程
Eric Weiner is a Baltimore native whose career took shape at the intersection of journalism, travel, and ideas. Educated at the University of Maryland and later a Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford, he began in newspaper reporting before moving to NPR, where he spent years as a foreign correspondent based in New Delhi, Jerusalem, and Tokyo. Reporting from more than thirty countries, he covered war, politics, economics, and everyday life across regions often defined in the news by crisis. That work brought recognition, including an Angel Award for coverage of Islamic affairs in Asia and participation in NPR’s Peabody-winning tobacco investigation.
