I'm a Los Angeles-based freelance journalist specializing in criminal justice and other social issues. My work has been honored by Investigative Reporters and Editors, the Columbia, Medill and Missouri Graduate Schools of Journalism, the National Mental Health Association, the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies and many other institutions.
In some 15 years in the news business, I have been a senior editor for Mother Jones, a special projects reporter for The Oakland Tribune, and a senior writer for The Jerusalem Report, Israel's leading news magazine. I have also hunted down stories from the Balkans to the Middle East on assignments for publications including Harper's, Wired, The Los Angeles Times Magazine, The Village Voice, The New Republic, The Nation, and Rolling Stone.
I have appeared as a guest on numerous radio talk shows on the BBC, NPR and other networks, and on many panel discussions and lectures. I graduated with highest honors (Summa cum Laude) from the University of California at Berkeley with a degree in Middle Eastern Studies.
