Eric Lipton

Background

Eric Lipton has been working as a jounralist for 30 years at The Washinton Post and the Hartford Courant.  Lipton covered the attacks of 9-11 and has since been covering most happenings in the current government. As of the last few years, Lipton has been writing aboyut the Trump administration . Lipton investigates and reports incidents in all different areas of the government. Lipton has done loads of stories and has even published multiple highly-rated books. One story in particular is called "City In the Sky: The Rise and Fall of The World Trade Center." This story focuses on the atacks of 9-11 and all of the information that was released following the tragic events. Another story I found and read was named "Trump's Campaign To Subvert the Election." This article was posted to The New York Times and it is very clearly influenced by the left. The Entire article describes how Trump incited violence and is causing mayhem within our borders. This goes to show that the media portrays stories very differently depending on the agenda they must coincide with. Another story I found on the New York Times was called "City Had Been Warned of Fuel Tank 7 At World Trade Center." This article was published only 2 months after the attacks on the World Trade Center. Lipton discusses the fuel tank that was awkwardly placed in the middle of the building instead of underground like normal. This was a very popular topic at the time and everyone was curious to know what really happened. Eric Lipton seems to target the largest audience and report the news they want to hear.

Lipton has been a finalist and received many awards during his career including:

- 1992 Pulitzer Prize in Explanatory Journalism 

- 2015 Pulitzer Price for Investigative Journalism 

- 2017 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting
