Join us to hear Ms. Stolberg speak about Obama?s first 100 days. Ms Stolberg joined the Times in 1997 as a science correspondent in the Washington bureau, writing about the intersection of science and public policy, including topics such as the AIDS epidemic, the 2001 anthrax attacks, bioethics controversies and the fight over federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. In 2002, she moved to Capitol Hill to cover Congress, a beat she held until 2006, when she began covering the administration of President George W. Bush. She now covers President Obama.
As a White House correspondent, Ms. Stolberg writes on a broad range of foreign and domestic issues, from education to health care and the economy, to the Middle East peace process and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She is an occasional guest on television shows such as Charlie Rose, as well as on NPR?s The Diane Rehm Show.
Ms. Stolberg began her journalism career at the Providence Journal in Providence, Rhode Island. Prior to joining The Times, she worked at The Los Angeles Times, where she shared in two Pulitzer Prizes won by that newspaper?s staff for coverage of the 1992 riots and the 1994 wildfires.
Ms. Stolberg will share stories and insights from her experience covering the 44th President. You won?t want to miss this!
