1988 –
The tie, exactly: Kevin Gosztola was born March 10, 1988, in Mishawaka, and his standard biography states the tie in its plain form: he is from Mishawaka. He graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a film degree in 2010. Born and from here; the career is Chicago's and the world's courtrooms'.
The course, at documented size: Gosztola built his name on the whistleblower and national-security beat: he was the only assigned journalist to cover the entire court-martial of Chelsea Manning, and he covered the case of John Kiriakou and the extradition proceedings against Julian Assange. He co-authored, with Greg Mitchell, Truth and Consequences: The US vs. Bradley Manning. From 2015 he was managing editor of Shadowproof, writing its Dissenter newsletter — the beat carried over from Firedoglake — and in December 2023 he and his co-founder announced Shadowproof's end, its archive kept for posterity. His book Guilty of Journalism: The Political Case Against Julian Assange appeared in March 2023. He has written for The Nation, Salon and OpEdNews and co-hosts the Unauthorized Disclosure podcast. Living; public record, public roles only.
