Jeremy Scahill is an American investigative journalist and author. He serves as a correspondent for the U.S. radio and TV program Democracy Now!. He is a Puffin Foundation Writing Fellow at The Nation Institute, and a frequent contributor to The Nation magazine.[1] Scahill and colleague Amy Goodman were co-recipients of the 1998 George Polk Award for their radio documentary, "Drilling and Killing: Chevron and Nigeria's Oil Dictatorship", which documented the Chevron Corporation's role in the killing of two Nigerian environmental activists.[2]
Scahill has reported from post-invasion Iraq; from the former Yugoslavia, where he covered the 1999 NATO bombing[3]; and from post-Katrina Louisiana.[4] He has been a vocal critic of private military contractors, in particular, Blackwater USA, the subject of his book, Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army.[5] The book was the focus of a two-part interview and discussion with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now! in March 2007[6]. Up until 1998, he was a regular contributor to the Catholic Worker. He campaigned vigorously against US policy towards Cuba, arguing that the Helms-Burton Act "discards...sovereignty...and attempts to supersede International law with US law...creates a legal framework authorizing financial and military support for armed subversion of a sovereign nation" [1].
