Carroll Bogert is President of the Marshall Project, a Pulitzer-Prize-winning nonprofit media organization that reports on the US criminal justice system. The Marshall Project seeks to create and sustain a sense of national urgency about the US criminal justice system. From 1998-2016 she was deputy executive director at Human Rights Watch, a nongovernmental organization defending human rights globally. Under her leadership, Human Rights Watch established an award-winning multimedia division, with websites in seven languages and a vibrant social media presence, including the largest Twitter following of any NGO in the world. Before joining Human Rights Watch, Bogert began her distinguished career in journalism as a foreign correspondent for Newsweek: first as a stringer in China, then as a correspondent in the Southeast Asia bureau, becoming bureau chief in Moscow, and finally working as an editor and international correspondent in the magazine’s New York office. In 2019, Bogert was awarded the Harvard GSAS Centennial Medal in recognition of her courageous work in journalism and advocacy for human rights. Applauded by GSAS as a "a first-rate international journalist and human rights advocate," Bogert was presented with the Centennial Medal for her "courageous lifelong commitment to fact-finding and truth-telling ... which sheds light on injustice both at home and abroad".
