New York Times' Sanger to speak at BYU

PROVO — Brigham Young University's David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies will host a New York Times Knowledge Network Lecture featuring David E. Sanger, the New York Times' chief Washington correspondent, Tuesday, Sept. 11, at 3 p.m. in Room 250 of the Spencer W. Kimball Tower.

Sanger's topic will be "Covering the White House in the Midst of War." During his 25-year career with the New York Times, Sanger has reported from New York, Tokyo and Washington, covering a wide variety of issues surrounding foreign policy, globalization, nuclear proliferation, Asian affairs and, for the past five years, the Bush presidency. As one of the paper's senior writers, he has served as bureau chief of its Tokyo office, been a part of two Pulitzer Prize-winning teams of journalists and was a co-recipient of the Weintal Prize for diplomatic reporting for his coverage of the Iraq and Korea crises.

The public is welcome.
