Ben Bradlee Jr. The Boston Globe
He worked for several years at the Riverside Press-Enterprise in California but then spent most of his career at The Boston Globe, where he was successively State House reporter, investigative reporter, national correspondent, political editor, and metropolitan editor.
In 1993, he was promoted to Assistant Managing Editor responsible for investigations and projects. In that role, he edited the Globe’s reporting that uncovered the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston’s repeated cover-ups of sexual abuse of children by priests, a painstaking investigation that began in 2001 and continued for two years.
The paper’s investigation was awarded the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. In the 2015 film Spotlight, which dramatizes that investigation, Bradlee is portrayed by John Slattery. Bradlee makes a cameo appearance as a journalist with a notepad during and after the scene depicting the Church’s response on television to the 9/11 attacks.
He left the Globe in 2004 to work on a biography of Boston Red Sox icon Ted Williams, which ultimately took ten years of in-depth research to finish. The Kid: The Immortal Life of Ted Williams was released in 2013.
It received favorable reviews, highlighting the author’s research into Williams’ concealed Mexican–American identity and troubled family relationships (which culminated in the disputed cryonic preservation of Williams’ head and torso). The book, which was a New York Times best-seller, has been optioned for a TV miniseries.

As we near the 2018 midterms, which will largely be a referendum on the Trump presidency and the future of our nation, Ben Bradlee Jr.’s ‘listening-reporting’ of the stories of those whose votes shook this country in 2016 offers complex, sobering, and important lessons for the future of our country.
