2024 Hall of Fame Inductee:
T. Christian Miller, Class of 1992
“The Daily Cal taught me all that I needed to know as a young reporter,” says T. Christian Miller about his time at the Daily Californian. His stories included city hall meetings, university scandals, and protests at People’s Park, where he was tear gassed for the first time. He graduated from Berkeley with highest honors in 1992. In the 30 years since his time at the Daily Cal, Miller has covered four wars, a presidential campaign and reported from more than two dozen countries. As a foreign correspondent based in Bogotá, Colombia, he covered that nation’s guerrilla conflict and its connection to Washington’s war on drugs. While there, he was briefly captured and held hostage by leftist guerrillas. For his work in the U.S. and abroad, he has won numerous accolades, including two Pulitzer Prizes and two Emmy Awards.
Miller has served as an adjunct professor at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism and as a member and treasurer of the Board of Directors for Investigative Reporters & Editors. Miller has published two books: Blood Money: Wasted Billions, Lost Lives and Corporate Greed in Iraq, which the Washington Post called one of the “indispensable” books on the Iraq war, and A False Report: A True Story of Rape in America. This work was the basis for the Netflix miniseries Unbelievable, which won a Peabody Award and attracted 32 million viewers worldwide.
