Kennedy Excellence in Journalism Awards and three Society of Professional Journalists Awards in Investigative Reporting for his projects that exposed the FBI lab’s reliance on bogus science to wrongfully convict Americans; the VA’s efforts to use soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan as guinea pigs in drug experiments; and the Clinton family’s secret slush fund in Sweden.

Before joining the Times, Mr. Solomon worked for two decades at The Associated Press where, at age 22, he became the youngest news editor in AP’s history and rose to become the No. 2 executive in its Washington bureau. His award-winning investigative stories won wide acclaim for exposing what the U.S. Government knew about terrorism threats prior to the September 11, 2001 attacks.

After retiring from AP, Mr. Solomon spent a year as the lead national investigative reporter for The Washington Postand has also done stints as a senior editor at Newsweek/Daily Beast and the nonprofit Center for Public Integrity.
