Charlie Savage

Charlie Savage

Charlie Savage is a newspaper reporter in Washington, D.C., with the New York Times, which he joined in May 2008.[1] In 2007, when employed by the Boston Globe, he was the recipient of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting on the issue of Presidential Signing Statements, specifically the use of such statements by the Bush administration.[2]

He writes about the Supreme Court, homeland security, and US detention and interrogation policies at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere in the War on Terrorism. Savage is particularly known for his articles about the George W. Bush administration's controversial legal theories.[3]

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. He began his reporting career in 1999 as a staff writer for the Miami Herald, where he covered local and state government and occasionally reviewed movies. Before he moved to the Boston Globe in 2003, his articles appeared under the byline "Charles Savage."

Savage is married to Luiza Ch. Savage [1], the U.S. correspondent and blogger for the weekly Canadian newsmagazine Maclean's.

He 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 at The Journal Gazette in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

On Constitution Day, September 17, 2007, the Constitution Project awarded Savage the first Award for Constitutional Commentary for his authorship of Takeover: The Return of the Imperial Presidency & the Subversion of American Democracy.
