About Brooke A. Masters
Brooke A. Masters, based in New York, covers Wall Street, the securities industry and white-collar
crime.
Since 2002, she has had a close-up view of corporate malfeasance - her assignments included the trials of Martha Stewart, Frank Quattrone, the Rigas family and Bernard Ebbers. She also reported extensively for the Post on Eliot Spitzer's various investigations. In her seventeen years at the Post, she has also covered criminal justice, education, and politics. She has written extensively about espionage, capital punishment and terrorism. Her 2000 articles on the flaws in Virginia's death penalty helped prod the state legislature into passing a law that made it easier for inmates who claim to be innocent to reopen their cases. She also served as an assistant metro editor in charge of criminal justice coverage. Born and raised in Manhattan, Brooke attended the Brearley School and Phillips Exeter Academy. She graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University in 1989 and earned a master's in economic history from the London School of Economics. Her book Spoiling for a Fight: The Rise of Eliot Spitzer will be published by Times Books in July 2006. Click here for the book's Web site. She and her husband live in Mamaroneck, N.Y. with their two children. A collection of her Washington Post reporting follows below: |
