Walter Robinson
Résumé
Walter V. Robinson (born January 13, 1946) is an American investigative reporter serving as editor-at-large at The Boston Globe, where he has worked as reporter and editor for 34 years. From 2007 to 2014, he was a distinguished professor of journalism at the Northeastern University School of Journalism. Robinson is the Donald W. Reynolds Visiting Professor of Journalism at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University, and a professor of practice at the Northeastern University School of Journalism. He has reported for the Globe from 48 states and more than 30 countries.
Robinson led the Globes coverage of the Roman Catholic clergy sexual abuse scandal, for which the newspaper won, and he personally accepted, the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.
The last investigation Robinson led for the Spotlight Team, "Debtors Hell", exposed the practices of debt collectors. It was a finalist for the Local Reporting Pulitzer in 2007. The Pulitzer Board cited the staff's "well documented exposure, in print and online, of unscrupulous debt collectors, causing two firms to close and prompting action by state officials."
Robinson graduated from Boston College High School and Northeastern University with a journalism degree. In the 1960s, he interrupted his college studies to join the Army. He was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in January 1968. After two years in Hawaii, Robinson served as an intelligence officer with the First Cavalry Division (Airmobile) in Vietnam from 1970 to 1971. During his Globe career, he was a local, state, and national political reporter. Robinson has covered and written extensively about the World War II-era looting of thousands of pieces of cultural artworks from German institutions. He covered the presidential elections of 1984, 1988, 1992, and 2000. Robinson covered the White House for the Globe during the presidencies of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. In 1990 and 1991, he was the Globes Middle East Bureau Chief, and covered the first Persian Gulf War.
