Helene Cooper of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) will give a reporter's-eye-view of her work as an embedded journalist during the war in Iraq when she visits the campus on Wednesday, Feb. 11, as the next Poynter Fellow in Journalism.
Her talk, titled "From Baghdad to Monrovia: War Reporting for the Wall Street Journal," will take place at 4 p.m. in Rm. 101 of Linsly-Chittenden Hall, 63 High St. Earlier that day, at 2:30 p.m., Cooper will be the guest at a tea in the Calhoun College master's house, 434 College St. Both talks are free and open to the public.
During the early months of the Iraq conflict, Cooper covered the U.S. Army's Third Infantry Division in Iraq. She has since returned to her post as assistant bureau chief of the WSJ's Washington bureau.
Cooper began working for the WSJ in 1992 in its Atlanta bureau, where she covered health care and regional economics. She joined the Washington bureau in 1994 to cover international trade. Three years later, she was recruited to the WSJ's London bureau, where she spent two years writing about European economics and monetary union. In 1999, she returned to Washington to take over a team covering international economics and regulatory policy. She is also part of the WSJ's homeland security team.
Prior to joining the WSJ, Cooper was a reporter for the Providence (Rhode Island) Journal-Bulletin. In 2000, she won the Raymond Clapper Award for Washington reporting, and the following year, she won the National Press Club's Sandy Hume Award, which is presented to an outstanding journalist under the age of 35. In 2002, she won the Missouri Lifestyle Journalism Award for a story she wrote about the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attacks.
Cooper is the editor of Daniel Pearl's "At Home in the World, Collected Writings from the Wall Street Journal," published in 2002.
