Investigative Journalism Across Borders: A Conversation with a ProPublica Reporter, with Sebastian Rotella
January 24, 2024 @ 2:45-4:00pm  

Award winning reporter Sebastian talks about the challenges of international reporting for ProPublica, a prominent nonprofit which does investigative journalism in the public interest. From Latin America to Europe to the Middle East, he has reported on security issues, including terrorism, justice, intelligence and migration. His recent work has examined the rising global threat from China’s authoritarian regime: espionage, political interference, organized crime and transnational repression of the Chinese diaspora. He will also discuss his 14 years as a journalist for ProPublica. During that time the organization has grown from a small New York newsroom to an acclaimed force in journalism with close to 200 employees nationwide. Sebastian’s honors include a Peabody award, Columbia Univ’s Moors Cabot Prize for Latin American coverage, awards from the Overseas Press Club, and Italy’s Urbino Press Award. Two-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Author of four critically acclaimed books: the crime novels Rip Crew, The Convert’s Song and Triple Crossing, and Twilight on the Line, a non-fiction work about the Mexican border
