Josh Rushing is an award-winning broadcast journalist and photographer. He co-hosts the emmy-winning Fault Lines, the flagship Al Jazeera English show about the Americas. He is also a former officer of the United States Marine Corps [USMC].
Rushing has been with Al Jazeera English since the run-up to its launch. As an international correspondent, Rushing has hosted and produced programs all over the world. So far in 2011 Rushing has filmed two Fault Lines episodes in Mexico - Mexico: Impunity and Profits, and Mexico's Hidden War - plus a third in Colombia. He has also traveled to Iraq, for the eighth time, to provide special news coverage marking the 6-month milestone before the planned withdrawal of the US military.
Rushing’s book, Mission AlJazeera: Build a Bridge, Seek the Truth, Change the World, was published by Palgrave-MacMillan in 2007. The book blends his personal story with a unique behind-the-scenes look into the controversial AlJazeera broadcast networks. Rushing is also published in Reader’s Digest's 10th Anniversary of 9/11 special edition.
Rushing blogged regularly for AJE and the Huffington Post before beginning his own online journal.
Every major news outlet has covered Rushing's career: The Daily Show, The Today Show, Anderson Cooper 360, NPR's Fresh Air and All Things Considered, The O'Reilly Factor, GQ Magazine (read the unabridged version on author Matt Power's website), Fast Company (cover), the LA Times (front page), USA Today (front page), the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and countless more.
