“Provocative,
informative and eloquent. Writer Dirk Johnson
speaks with authority and knowledge gained from his tireless
pursuit of stories over the years as a veteran reporter
for top news publications in the United States. He spins
narratives — sometimes elegant, sometimes gritty,
always human — and takes the audience on a fascinating
journey as they meet the people he has gotten to know and
the facts he has uncovered. He captivates all ages, and
especially inspired my college students.”

“Dirk
Johnson is a brilliant journalist, an absolutely beautiful
writer known
for his moving narratives and his uncommon empathy.” |
| |
— Sara Rimer, National Correspondent, The New York Times. |
| |
“His
writing is all that magazine writing should be: urgent and
compelling,
yet measured, letting the sources and the subjects speak poignantly
for
themselves. Dirk is one of the very best writers at the magazine.” |
| |
— Marcus Mabry, Chief of Correspondents, Newsweek. |
| |
|
| “Dirk
Johnson is one of those rare writers who proves you can
have
journalistic objectivity and a boundless heart. His writing
is so natural and
effortless, and his affection for humanity is palpable.” |
