Award-winning freelance journalist Charles Graeber has joined the OPC board.
Graeber is a contributor to numerous publications including Wired, GQ, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, Vogue, National Geographic, Men’s Journal, Bloomberg Businessweek and The New York Times.
He won the OPC’s 2011 Ed Cunningham Award for his piece for Bloomberg Businessweek, “After the Tsunami, Nothing to Do but Start Again.” Each year, the Ed Cunningham Award honors the best international reporting in magazines.
During his acceptance speech at the Annual Awards Dinner, Graeber described landing in Japan’s worst-hit area, not far from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear site, reporting for ten days with a Geiger counter on his hip and only a single tank of gas to get the story.
For Wired, where he’s a contributing editor, he lived inside the mansion of Kim Dotcom while he was under house arrest.
He is also author of The Good Nurse, a portrait of America’s most prolific serial killer, Charles Cullen, whose 16-year long nursing career left as many as 300 dead.
