Please join us for a one-hour video phone call with Washington Post’s Mary Jordan on November 15 from 5PM to 6PM.

Jordan was born in Cleveland and was graduated from St. Joseph’ Academy on the West Side. She earned her undergraduate degree at Georgetown University, then a journalism degree from Columbia. She was awarded a Nieman Fellowship to study at Harvard University. She has reported from 40 countries, most notably Ireland, Japan and Mexico. It was from Mexico that she and her husband Kevin Sullivan wrote articles on that nation’s criminal justice system which won them jointly the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. They were finalists for the award in 2009 for their reporting on the tribulations of women around the world.

Back in Washington, Jordan helped found and moderate Washington Post Live, which organizes forums and debates. She has interviewed many national and international politicians and persons of influence from Paul McCartney to Jimmy Carter, Tony Blair and Gabriel Garcia Marquez as well as a Mexican drug lord. In 2016, the Post presented her with its Eugene Meyer Award for distinguished service to the newspaper. Her books include one on the 2002-2013 kidnapping of three girls in Cleveland and one on Melania Trump.
