FEATURING JEFFREY GOLDBERG OF THE ATLANTIC

IN CONVERSATION WITH DAVID MARANISS

Please join the Center for Journalism Ethics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, as well as leading journalists and news organizations, in honoring the winners of the 2026 Anthony Shadid Award for Journalism Ethics.

The Shadid Award is presented in memory of Anthony Shadid ’90, a University of Wisconsin–Madison journalism alum and former board member of the Center for Journalism Ethics. A two-time recipient of the Pulitzer Prize, Shadid reported on the Middle East for the Washington Post and New York Times and remains one of the most admired international correspondents of our time.

This event will feature a keynote conversation on journalism ethics with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg conducted by award-winning journalist David Maraniss.

ABOUT JEFFREY GOLDBERG

Jeffrey Goldberg is the editor in chief of The Atlantic, and the moderator of “Washington Week With The Atlantic” on PBS. Goldberg is the 15th person to serve as editor in chief in The Atlantic’s 168-year history. Under Goldberg’s leadership, The Atlantic has won the first three Pulitzer Prizes in its history, and set new records for subscriptions. The Atlantic has also won the National Magazine Award for General Excellence, the highest honor bestowed by the magazine industry, for the past three years in a row.

Goldberg’s most recent book, “On Heroism,” is an expansion of his explosive reporting about former President Donald Trump’s contempt for and repeated disparagement of military service members—a story he broke four years ago.

Goldberg is the recipient of numerous awards, including the National Magazine Award for Reporting, the Daniel Pearl Award for Reporting, the Overseas Press Club’s award for human-rights reporting, and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists Prize for best investigative reporter.
