"In 2010, Ms. Barnard wrote a year-long series about the Haitian earthquake, exploring how the disaster affected Haiti’s diaspora, through the lens of a single Catholic parish in New York. The series received Columbia University’s Meyer “Mike” Berger Award for in-depth reporting on the lives of ordinary people.
Ms. Barnard, a native New Yorker, studied Russian at Yale University and began her reporting career at The Moscow Times, covering post-Soviet turmoil from 1993 to 1995. She worked for The Philadelphia Inquirer from 1996 to 2000, then joined the Boston Globe." Without such credentials, I am shocked that the US media did not send her to the Middle East earlier, especially given the year of Russian she took at Yale (as you know, people in Beirut and Damascus speak Russian).
