Covering China: A Journalist’s Tale

Tue, November 1, 2016
Dinner Program
Andrew Jacobs

Andrew Jacobs will present an insider’s look at the challenges—and occasional joys—of the nearly eight years he spent reporting for the New York Times from China.

Andrew Jacobs has been a reporter for The New York Times since 1995. Over the years, he has covered a variety of beats, from the New York City Police Department and criminal courts, to the American South, Styles and New Jersey politics. He is currently based in New York City and covers a number of topics, including Brazil and China's relationship with the rest of the world.

Jacobs was part of a team of reporters who won a Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for coverage of the September 11 attacks in Manhattan, and in 2009 he was part of a team of reporters that won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting related to the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal.

Mr. Jacob’s Athenaeum talk is co-sponsored by CMC’s Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
