==Early life==
Janine di Giovanni has reported nearly every violent conflict since the late 1980s, and has made a trademark of writing about the human face of war. She has won four major awards: two [[Amnesty International]] Prizes for her coverage of human rights abuses in [[Kosovo]] and [[Sierra Leone]]; the [[National Magazine Award]] (2000) in the USA for her article in ''Vanity Fair'', "Madness Visible"; and Britain's [[Granada Television]]'s ''What the Papers Say'' Foreign Correspondent of the Year for her reporting from [[Chechnya]].

== Career ==
In December 2012, di Giovanni gave a [[TED talk]] at the U.S. Institute of Peace on the subject of war reporting. Titled "What I saw in the war," the Talk has so far received more than 600,000 views. Di Giovanni spoke about her experiences while reporting from Bosnia, Sierra Leone and most recently Syria. She especially focused on the shocking transition of a familiar city street into a bombed-out battleground. “This is how war starts: one day you’re living your ordinary life; you’re planning to go to a party; taking your children to school; making a dentist appointment. The next thing, the telephone goes out; the T.V goes out; there are armed men on the street; there is road blocks – your life as you know it goes into suspended animation – it stops," di Giovanni starts her Talk. The video has been translated into 31 languages.<ref>http://aoav.org.uk/2013/janine-di-giovanni/</ref><ref>http://www.ted.com/talks/janine_di_giovanni_what_i_saw_in_the_war</ref>

Di Giovanni began reporting by covering the [[First Palestinian Intifada]] and Nicaragua in 1987 for the London ''[[The Times|Times]]'' and ''[[The Spectator]]'' and has reported on other conflicts since then.<ref name="Indy20070108" /> Di Giovanni has described herself as a "human rights reporter"<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.7daysinsyriafilm.com/|title=7 Days in Syria|website=7 Days In Syria Film}}</ref> with a focus on war crimes and crimes against humanity.


She has reported on the genocides in Bosnia, Rwanda and currently Syria. She continued to write about Bosnia, and in 2000 she was one of the few foreign reporters to witness the fall of Grozny, Chechnya. She received awards for her depictions of the terror after the fall of the city, including the [[Amnesty International UK Media Awards|Amnesty International Prize]] and Britain's Foreign Correspondent of the Year.<ref name="auto">{{Cite news|url=https://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/2000/01/bio-digiovanni|title=Janine di Giovanni|magazine=Vanity Fair|last1=Fair|first1=Vanity}}</ref>
She is one of the journalists featured in a documentary about women war reporters, "Bearing Witness", a film by three-time Academy Award winning director Barbara Kopple, which was shown at the Tribeca film festival and on the A&E network in May 2005.


During the war in Kosovo, di Giovanni traveled with the [[Kosovo Liberation Army]] into occupied Kosovo and sustained a bombing raid on her unit which left many soldiers dead. Her article on that incident, and many of her other experiences during the [[Yugoslav Wars|Balkan Wars]], "Madness Visible" for ''Vanity Fair'' (2000), won the [[National Magazine Award]] for reporting.<ref name="magazine.org" /> She later expanded her article into a book for Knopf/Bloomsbury.<ref>{{cite web |last1=di Giovanni |first1=Janine |title=Madness Visible |url=https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/madness-visible-9780747568681/ |website=Bloomsbury Publishing |language=en}}</ref>
In 1993, she was the subject of another documentary about women war reporters, "No Man's Land" which followed her working in Sarajevo. She has also made two long format documentaries for the BBC. In 2000, she returned to Bosnia to make "Lessons from History," a report on five years of peace after the Dayton Accords. The following year she went to Jamaica to report on a little-known but tragic story of police assassinations of civilians, "Dead Men Tell No Tales." Both films were critically acclaimed.


In 1999, she became a contributing editor to ''[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]''<ref name="auto"/> and continued to report for both ''[[The Times]]'' and ''Vanity Fair'' in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as Africa. Later, she reported on the [[Arab Spring]]. Many of her early essays were compiled in a book published by [[Bloomsbury Publishing|Bloomsbury]], ''The Place at the End of the World''.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2006/jan/14/highereducation.news|title=Review: The Place at the End of the World by Janine di Giovanni|first=Adam|last=Thorpe|newspaper=The Guardian |date=January 14, 2006|via=www.theguardian.com}}</ref>

== Biography ==


In 2013, di Giovanni joined ''[[Newsweek]]'' as Middle East Editor and began working primarily in the Syria, Egypt, Kurdistan, Lebanon and Iraq regions. She also continued to work in North Africa and in South Sudan.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.newsweek.com/authors/janine-di-giovanni | title=Janine di Giovanni | website=[[Newsweek]] }}</ref> That year<!-- 2013 -->, di Giovanni was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world of armed violence by the organization Action on Armed Violence.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.belfercenter.org/event/newsweeks-janine-di-giovanni-morning-they-came-us-reporting-syrias-humanitarian-crisis|title=Newsweek's Janine di Giovanni: "The Morning They Came for US" - Reporting Syria's humanitarian crisis|website=Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs}}</ref>
Janine di Giovanni began reporting by covering the first Palestinian intifada in the late 1980s and went on to report nearly every violent conflict since then. Her trademark has always been to write about the human cost of war, to attempt to give war a human face, and to work in conflict zones that the world's press has forgotten.


In 2014, she was a consultant on Syria for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees ([[United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees|UNHCR]]) and a Senior Policy Manager/Advisor at the Centre for Conflict, Resolution and Recovery for the [[School of Public Policy at Central European University]]. She has worked with researchers from [[Amnesty International]] and [[Human Rights Watch]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Bio |url=https://www.janinedigiovanni.com/subscribe |website=Janine di Giovanni}}</ref>
She continued writing about Bosnia long after most people forgot it. In 2000, she was one of the few foreign reporters to witness the fall of Grozny, Chechnya, and her depictions of the terror after the fall of city won her several major awards.


In a ''[[Newsweek]]'' article titled "The Fall of France" in 2014, di Giovanni extensively criticised the French social and taxation systems. Following publication, a number of points she cited to support her argument were deemed inaccurate. "Les décodeurs", the fact-checking blog of the French newspaper ''[[Le Monde]],'' reported nine mistakes.<ref>[http://decodeurs.blog.lemonde.fr/2014/01/06/the-fall-of-newsweek/ Les décodeurs "The Fall of « Newsweek » – Les mille et une erreurs d'un article de « french-bashing »"]</ref> These mistakes included "The top tax rate is 75 percent, and a great many pay in excess of 70 percent" when in actuality it is "companies not individuals who must pay this tax, which only applies to salaries over a million euros".<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/10556771/Gallic-uproar-over-Fall-of-France-Newsweek-article.html The Telegraph "Gallic uproar over 'Fall of France' Newsweek article"]</ref> Additionally her claim of milk costing €3 a half liter in Paris and nappies being free to new mothers were inaccurate as, "the price of milk, which they pointed out, costs around €1.30 a litre, while neither creches nor nappies are free".<ref>[http://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/newsweek-broadside-stirs-gallic-pride-as-french-ridicule-journalist-s-errors-1.1648660 The Irish Times "'Newsweek' broadside stirs Gallic pride as French ridicule journalist's errors"]</ref> The article was also severely criticised by [[Pierre Moscovici]], the French Minister of Economy.<ref>[http://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2014/01/07/moscovici-sur-l-article-de-newsweek-c-est-le-pompon_4344269_3224.html Moscovici sur l'article de « Newsweek » : « C'est le pompon »]</ref>

==''Fall of France'' Article==

In an article titled, "The Fall of France" that was published in January 2014 in [[Newsweek]], di Giovanni wrote an extensive critique of the French social and taxation systems. Following its publication, the article received a significant amount of criticism from the public and French media. A blog hosted by the French newspaper [[Le Monde]] analyzed the inaccuracies made in the article.<ref>[http://decodeurs.blog.lemonde.fr/2014/01/06/the-fall-of-newsweek/ Les décodeurs "The Fall of « Newsweek » – Les mille et une erreurs d’un article de « french-bashing »"]</ref> Despite claims that there were errors, di Giovanni has stood by "The Fall of France," stating that it was an op-ed piece based on her personal experiences of living in France for the past decade.
Di Giovanni's book about Christians in the Middle East, ''The Vanishing'', is scheduled to be published by Public Affairs in 2021.

Janine di Giovanni[3] is an author, journalist, and war correspondent currently serving as the Executive Director of The Reckoning Project.[4][5] She is a senior fellow at Yale University's Jackson Institute for Global Affairs,[6] a non-resident Fellow at The New America Foundation and the Geneva Center for Security Policy in International Security and a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations.[7] She was named a 2019 Guggenheim Fellow,[8] and in 2020, the American Academy of Arts and Letters awarded her the Blake-Dodd nonfiction prize for her lifetime body of work.[9][10] She has contributed to The Times,[11] Vanity Fair,[12] Granta, The New York Times, and The Guardian.[13]

Early life

Di Giovanni is the seventh child of an Italian-born father and a mother from an Italian-American family.[1][2] She was raised in New Jersey. Originally she wanted to become a humanitarian doctor in Africa, but initially embarked on an academic career.[14] Di Giovanni attended the University of Maine, where she majored in English.[15]

Career

Di Giovanni began reporting by covering the First Palestinian Intifada and Nicaragua in 1987 for the London Times and The Spectator and has reported on other conflicts since then.[14] Di Giovanni has described herself as a "human rights reporter"[16] with a focus on war crimes and crimes against humanity.

She has reported on the genocides in Bosnia, Rwanda and currently Syria. She continued to write about Bosnia, and in 2000 she was one of the few foreign reporters to witness the fall of Grozny, Chechnya. She received awards for her depictions of the terror after the fall of the city, including the Amnesty International Prize and Britain's Foreign Correspondent of the Year.[17]

During the war in Kosovo, di Giovanni traveled with the Kosovo Liberation Army into occupied Kosovo and sustained a bombing raid on her unit which left many soldiers dead. Her article on that incident, and many of her other experiences during the Balkan Wars, "Madness Visible" for Vanity Fair (2000), won the National Magazine Award for reporting.[18] She later expanded her article into a book for Knopf/Bloomsbury.[19]

In 1999, she became a contributing editor to Vanity Fair[17] and continued to report for both The Times and Vanity Fair in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as Africa. Later, she reported on the Arab Spring. Many of her early essays were compiled in a book published by Bloomsbury, The Place at the End of the World.[20]

In 2010, di Giovanni was the president of the Jury of the Bayeux-Calvados Awards for war correspondents.[21]

In 2013, di Giovanni joined Newsweek as Middle East Editor and began working primarily in the Syria, Egypt, Kurdistan, Lebanon and Iraq regions. She also continued to work in North Africa and in South Sudan.[22] That year, di Giovanni was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world of armed violence by the organization Action on Armed Violence.[23]

In 2014, she was a consultant on Syria for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and a Senior Policy Manager/Advisor at the Centre for Conflict, Resolution and Recovery for the School of Public Policy at Central European University. She has worked with researchers from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.[24]

In a Newsweek article titled "The Fall of France" in 2014, di Giovanni extensively criticised the French social and taxation systems. Following publication, a number of points she cited to support her argument were deemed inaccurate. "Les décodeurs", the fact-checking blog of the French newspaper Le Monde, reported nine mistakes.[25] These mistakes included "The top tax rate is 75 percent, and a great many pay in excess of 70 percent" when in actuality it is "companies not individuals who must pay this tax, which only applies to salaries over a million euros".[26] Additionally her claim of milk costing €3 a half liter in Paris and nappies being free to new mothers were inaccurate as, "the price of milk, which they pointed out, costs around €1.30 a litre, while neither creches nor nappies are free".[27] The article was also severely criticised by Pierre Moscovici, the French Minister of Economy.[28]

In 2016, di Giovanni was awarded the Courage in Journalism prize from the IWMF.[29] She also won the Hay Medal for Prose from the Hay [30]

She has made two long format documentaries for the BBC. In 2000, she returned to Bosnia to make Lessons from History, a report on five years of peace after the Dayton Accords.[31] The following year she visited Jamaica to report on police assassinations of civilians, Dead Men Tell No Tales.[32]

Di Giovanni was the subject of a documentary about women war reporters, No Man's Land (1993) which followed her working in Sarajevo. She is one of the journalists featured in a documentary about women war reporters, Bearing Witness (2005), by Barbara Kopple and is also a subject in the documentary film 7 Days in Syria (2015),[33][34][35] directed by Robert Rippberger and produced by Scott Rosenfelt. The film had a screening at the House of Lords.[36]

In 2018, di Giovanni was appointed as the Edward R. Murrow Press Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations[37] and was also serving as adjunct professor of international and public affairs at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University.[38]

In 2019, di Giovanni was named a Guggenheim Fellow.[39] Di Giovanni is also a senior fellow at Yale University Jackson Institute for Global Affairs.[40]

In 2022, di Giovanni founded The Reckoning Project: Ukraine Testifies,[41] a non-government organization that trains conflict journalists and researchers to gather legally admissible testimonies documenting war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the 2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine.[42]

Personal life

Di Giovanni has been married twice. Her first husband was photographer Marc Schlossman. The couple married in a New Jersey Roman Catholic church in 1986; they divorced in 1995.[1] While based in Sarajevo, di Giovanni met the French journalist, Bruno Girodon; the couple married in August 2003 in St.-Guillaume, France in a civil ceremony,[14][43] but separated in 2008.[2]
