Lowell Bergman (born July 24, 1945) is the Reva and David Logan Distinguished Chair in Investigative Reporting at the Graduate School of Journalism at UC Berkeley and director of the Investigative Reporting Program, where he has taught a seminar dedicated to investigative reporting for over 20 years. He is also a producer/correspondent for the PBS documentary series ''Frontline''. Bergman’s career spans nearly five decades, most notably as a producer, a reporter and then the director of investigative reporting at ABC News and as CBS News producer for ''60 Minutes''. The story of his investigation into the tobacco industry was chronicled in the Academy Award–nominated film ''The Insider''. From 1999 to 2008, Bergman was an investigative correspondent for ''The New York Times''. Creating collaborative investigative projects using broadcast, print and the Web became his specialty. Bergman has received honors for both print and broadcasting, including the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, awarded to ''The New York Times'' in 2004〔 for "A Dangerous Business" which detailed a record of worker safety violations coupled with the systematic violation of environmental laws in the cast-iron sewer and water pipe industry. That story is the only winner of the Pulitzer Prize to also be acknowledged with every major award in broadcasting. The recipient of numerous Emmys, Bergman has also been honored with five Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Silver and Golden Baton awards, three Peabodys, a Polk Award, a Sidney Hillman Award for Labor Reporting, a Bart Richards Award for Media Criticism, the National Press Club’s Arthur Rowse Award for Press Criticism, a Mirror Award from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, and the James Madison Freedom of Information Award for Career Achievement from the Society of Professional Journalists. == Early history == Bergman's grandmother was the first secretary-treasurer of the ILGWU local in New York; his grandfather was also a founder. His parents were both eastern European Jewish immigrants; his father coming from Hungary to Cuba to the United States. His mother was a member of the Poale Zion (labor Zionist organization). Bergman graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, with Honors, in Sociology and History, and was a graduate fellow in philosophy at the University of California, San Diego, where he studied under Herbert Marcuse. In 1969 he co-founded ''San Diego Free Press'' (later ''San Diego Street Journal''), an alternative newspaper, with several fellow students.

He later worked as an associate editor at ''Rolling Stone''. In 1977, Bergman helped found the Center for Investigative Reporting.〔(CIR | Revealing injustice for 35 years | Center for Investigative Reporting )〕 He was part of the reporting team that continued the work of ''Arizona Republic'' reporter Don Bolles, who was assassinated in 1976 while investigating land fraud committed by organized crime. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lowell Bergman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
