Rudnick Lecture presents: Judith Miller "On News in Israel and the Middle East"

The Rudnick Lecture and the Duke Center for Jewish Studies welcomes journalist Judith Miller, an adjunct fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a City Journal contributing editor, a best-selling author, and a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter formerly with the New York Times. In 2002, Miller was part of a small team that won a Pulitzer Prize for explanatory journalism for her January 2001 series on Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda. That same year, she won an Emmy for her work on a Nova/New York Times documentary based on articles for her book Germs. Miller was part of the Times team that won the DuPont Award for a series of programs on terrorism for PBS's Frontline. Before leaving the Times in 2005, she spent 85 days in jail to defend a reporter's right to protect confidential sources. That year, Miller received the Society of Professional Journalists First Amendment Award for her defense of an independent press.

She is the author of One, by One, by One (1990), a highly praised account of how people in six nations have distorted the memory of the Holocaust; Saddam Hussein and the Crisis in the Gulf (1990); God Has Ninety-Nine Names (1996); and her memoir, The Story: A Reporter's Journey (2015).

Miller holds a B.A. from Barnard College and a master¿s from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

A reception will follow the lecture.
