Community Event: David E. Sanger, Journalist and Professor

David E. Sanger is a White House and national security correspondent, and a senior writer at the New York Times. In a 40-year reporting career for The Times, he has been on three teams that have won Pulitzer Prizes, most recently in 2017 for international reporting. His newest book, “The Perfect Weapon: War, Sabotage and Fear in the Cyber Age,’’ and an HBO documentary by the same title, examine the emergence of cyberconflict and its role in changing the nature of global power.

In 1986 Sanger played a major role in the team that investigated the causes of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. The team won the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting. A decade later he was a member of another Pulitzer-winning team that wrote about the Clinton administration's struggles to control exports to China. Sanger was awarded, in 2004, the Weintal Prize for diplomatic reporting for his coverage of the Iraq and Korea crises. He also won the Aldo Beckman prize for coverage of the presidency.

In 2022 he was executive producer of another HBO documentary, "Year One,'' on the first year of the Biden presidency. He is an adjunct lecturer at the Kennedy School of Government where he co-teaches "Central Challenges in American National Security/Strategy and the Press."
