Aaron Glantz

At CASBS, Aaron Glantz will incubate a new initiative that builds resilience for investigative journalists, human rights advocates, and others dedicated to social change. A two-time Peabody Award-winner and Pulitzer Prize finalist, Glantz is known globally as a leader of investigative projects that drive impact. Projects he’s led have sparked new laws that curtailed the opioid epidemic, improved care for U.S. military veterans, and kept the FBI’s international war crimes office open. They have also prompted dozens of Congressional hearings and investigations by the FBI, DEA, and United Nations. His reporting has appeared in nearly every major media outlet, including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, NPR, NBC News, ABC News, Reveal and the PBS Newshour, where his investigations have received three national Emmy nominations.

A former war correspondent who has reported from a dozen countries, including Iraq, Glantz has been a fellow at the DART Center for Journalism and Trauma at Columbia University, a Rosalynn Carter Fellow for Mental Health Journalism at the Carter Center, a JSK Journalism Fellow at Stanford University, and a visiting professor at the University of California Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism.  He is author of four books, among them Homewreckers (Harper Collins, 2019), which probed hedge fund profiteering off the 2008 financial crisis. A sought-after speaker and teacher, Glantz is known for developing talent across all media platforms. As an executive-in-residence at the Maynard Institute for Journalism Education he mentors a new generation of journalists of color.
