Item Description

Philip Bennett of PBS Frontline will be the guest of honor at your house for dinner.

During almost 30 years in journalism, Bennett has been an editor of international and national security coverage, a local news reporter and a foreign correspondent. Between 2005-2009, he was managing editor of The Washington Post, where he worked and became friends with Anthony Shadid. During his tenure as the paper’s second-ranking editor, The Post won ten Pulitzer prizes. Earlier, Bennett led The Post’s award-winning international coverage, supervising two dozen foreign correspondents and reporting projects on subjects from the Mexico justice system and AIDS treatment in Africa to international migration and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
