Imbedded Journalist to Speak to the Battalion

On March 25th, journalist and Adjunct Law Professor Willy Stern will be speaking to the Midshipmen at the Battalion about his experiences as an imbedded journalist in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Mr. Stern holds an undergraduate degree from Williams College and an MPA from Harvard University. He has been a staff writer at publications around the globe, including Business Week, Forbes, and, most recently, The Nashville Scene. His exhaustive investigations of airplane safety, police corruption and crooked charities have won numerous national journalism awards. Professor Stern’s op-eds and analyses have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Chicago Tribune and The New Republic, to name a few. At Vanderbilt Law School, Professor Stern teaches Methods and Ethics of Information Gathering. We thank him in advance for taking the time to share his experience with our Battalion!
