OCTOBER 29. 5.30 PM. Stabile Student Center.
Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman, winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Journalism, will be talking about the NYPD surveillance of the Muslim community in New York City.
Adam Goldman is a reporter for the Associated Press’ investigative team in Washington, D.C., where he has focused on national security since 2010. He has broken many major terrorism-related stories such as identity of the courier who led the CIA to Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan and many important details about the raid; the lack of accountability at the CIA when officers make grave mistakes; and the discovery of a secret CIA prison in Romania. His reporting on an al-Qaida plot in Yemen revealed the U.S. was facing a serious terror threat to aviation as the White House said otherwise. For reporting on that story, the Justice Department secretly seized Goldman's phone records. Goldman is the recipient of numerous journalism awards, including the Harvard Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting, a George Polk Award, the Paul Tobenkin Memorial Award and the Edgar A. Poe Award from the White House Correspondents’ Association.
Matt Apuzzo is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter for The Associated Press in Washington. He has revealed CIA misconduct, widespread cheating on FBI certification tests and the location of a secret CIA prison in Romania. Formerly AP's legal affairs writer, Apuzzo covered the trials of Sen. Ted Stevens and White House aide Scooter Libby, the Virginia Tech shooting and the conclusion of the FBI’s long-running Amerithrax case. He has covered corruption in the Senate, influence on Wall Street, and a mobster who built an empire on the nation's richest fishing port. A graduate of Colby College with a degree in biology, he lives in Washington with his wife and two children.
Enemies Within, a new book from award-winning journalists, Adam Goldman and Matt Apuzzo, is an inside look at the New York City Police Department and its controversial Muslim surveillance program. Goldman and Apuzzo received a Pulitzer Prize for their investigative reporting on the post-9/11 NYPD, revealing a vast network of undercover officers and informants dispatched to keep tabs on Muslims in New York and beyond.
