Carol Rosenberg,

Carol Rosenberg is a reporter focusing on the U.S. Navy base at Guantánamo Bay with a focus on the wartime prison, policies and legal proceedings for The New York Times. She works for the Washington, D.C., bureau and frequently reports from Guantánamo Bay. Her extensive experience in reporting from the base, combined with her knowledge of the Middle East and deep well of sources, allows her to provide in-depth coverage of the offshore U.S. military operation that has held about 780 men and boys there across two decades, as well as the tens of thousands of men and women who served there as members of the military and government contractors. Rosenberg has been reporting on the Pentagon's offshore prison since the first detainees were brought there from Afghanistan in January 2002, four months to the day after the 9/11 attacks. She sifts through leads, conducts background and on-the-record interviews, keeps up with a constant flow of court filings and other legal documents. She asks and re-asks questions of prison and military authorities. She spends weeks at a time at Guantánamo, regularly observes hearings in the war crimes cases to track developments and report and gather the news. Rosenberg has logged more time at Guantánamo Bay than any other reporter. The American Bar Association awarded her a Silver Gavel for her war court reporting. From 1987-1994, she was based in the Middle East, primarily for her previous employer, the Miami Herald. There she covered war, peace talks, politics and popular culture, and periodically returned there as news assignments required. She joined The Times in 2019. Growing up in New England and obtaining a bachelor's degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where she began her journalism career as a stringer for United Press International, Rosenberg adheres to The Times' strict ethical standards when reporting from Guantánamo. This requires signing Pentagon ground rules, a contract with the government. In it, she agrees to show government representatives every photograph she takes and they decide which ones she gets to keep. She also agrees not to disclose certain security features she observes, such as the number of soldiers the prison commander posts inside the courtroom. The Times pays for all travel, guest quarters and meals. Rosenberg welcomes all news tips and will keep your confidence and pursue them with journalistic rigor.
