Charlie Savage is an author and newspaper reporter in Washington, D.C., with The New York Times. In 2007, when employed by the Boston Globe, he was a recipient of the Pulitzer Prize. He writes about national security legal policy, including presidential power, surveillance, drone strikes, torture, secrecy, leak investigations, military commissions, war powers, and the US war-on-terrorism prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1975, Savage earned an undergraduate degree in English and American literature and language from Harvard College in 1998 and a master's degree in 2003 from Yale Law School, where he was a Knight Foundation journalism fellow.
Savage is believed to have written the first mainstream media story about the Dark Side of the Rainbow, the practice of listening to Pink Floyd's album The Dark Side of the Moon while watching the film The Wizard of Oz, in August 1995, while working as a college intern at The Journal Gazette in Fort Wayne. He went on in 1999 to work as a staff writer for the Miami Herald, where, under the byline "Charles Savage," he covered local and state government and occasionally reviewed movies. He changed his byline to "Charlie Savage" when he moved to the Boston Globe's Washington Bureau in 2003 and kept it that way when he moved to the Times' Washington Bureau in May 2008.
He is married to Luiza Ch. Savage, the editorial director of events for Politico[2] and a commentator on Canadian political news programs. He has taught a seminar at Georgetown University on national security and the Constitution.
