Julian Sher is an
award-winning investigative journalist in print, TV, radio and on the
Web.
He is a writer for The
Globe and Mail, Canada's national newspaper, a veteran TV
documentary writer and director, a newsroom trainer and the author
of six widely-acclaimed books.
His latest investigative work is now available: Somebody's
Daughter: The Hidden Story of America's Prostituted Children and The Battle
to Save Them. Publisher's Weekly called the book "a
thorough, deeply affecting study … [that] strikes a rare balance
between revealing trauma and hope."
His previous book, Caught
in the Web: Inside the Police Hunt to Rescue Children from Online Predators
has been hailed by reviewers as "riveting" "eye-opening
and "gripping." His writings on child abuse have appeared on
the front page of the New
York Times, the cover of Maclean's
magazine and the OpEd page of USA
Today.
His books on crime and the justice system have been translated
into six languages and sold in eight countries. His book "Until
You are Dead" about Canada's most famous murder case details
the investigation that helped Steven
Truscott clear his name almost 50 years after he was nearly hanged
as a boy.
Julian wrote and directed a New York Times-CBC TV investigation
called "Nuclear
Jihad" which won the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award,
the broadcast equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize, in 2006. In 2007 he was
on assignment in Iraq for the New York Times and the CBC to produce the
documentary, "The
Battle for Baghdad." In 2008, he investigated the Taliban in
Afghanistan for a two-hour CBC special, Afghanistan:
Between Hope and Fear. In 2009, he travelled to the far reaches of
Arctic to track
scientists racing to map and claim the North Pole. In 2010, he visited
former Nazi camps and the beaches of Normandy to investigate how
propaganda helped shape World War II.
He created and now contributes to JournalismNet,
a comprehensive guide to mastering the web as an investigative tool. He
speaks at conferences around the world and can be contacted
for appearances.
