David E. Sanger

What I admire about Sanger is his staying power. Writing since 1982 on foreign policy, globalization, nuclear proliferation and the presidency is not a glamorous beat, yet it is exactly where careful reporting matters most. His Weintal Prize and his books on Obama's covert wars tell me he is the kind of journalist who turns breaking news into durable history. I value reporters who build trust line by line rather than chasing spectacle, and his Harvard-shaped rigor shows in that patience. In an age of noise, his quiet authority on Washington and security feels increasingly rare and worth following closely.
