Scott Anderson and Ben Solomon Discuss 'Fractured Lands' at Yale

Pulitzer Center grantees Scott Anderson and Ben Solomon along with Executive Director Jon Sawyer discuss The New York Times Magazine landmark piece "Fractured Lands: How the Arab World Came Apart" at Yale University on Wednesday, November 30 2016.

Anderson is a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine. He is the author, most recently, of "Lawrence in Arabia: War, Deceit, Imperial Folly and the Making of the Modern Middle East," which was shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award. In his 33 years as a war correspondent, he has covered conflicts in Chechnya, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Northern Ireland, Sri Lanka and Sudan.

Solomon is a multimedia journalist, documentary filmmaker and foreign correspondent for The New York Times. Starting as an intern for the newspaper in 2010, Solomon moved to the Middle East a year later to cover the uprisings in Egypt, Libya and Syria. Since then, he has been constantly bouncing across the Middle East, Africa and the former Soviet Union, covering a variety of events and issues.

The event will be co-sponsored by the Poynter Fund, the Yale Journalism Initiative, the Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale, and the Pulitzer Center.
