Lisa Hoffman
Lisa Hoffman began her newspaper career at the Miami Herald during the "Miami Vice" days of cocaine wars, riots and boat people. She covered federal courts, the FBI and DEA, and assorted local governments.
She moved to Texas as a state reporter for the Dallas Times Herald, where she joined the team that became a Pulitzer Prize finalist for a yearlong package of stories on air safety. In the paper's Washington bureau, she led another team that earned the Society of Professional Journalists' national public service award and the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award for its series on immigration.
For Scripps Howard News Service in Washington, she covered the White House, Congress, the Justice Department, and the Pentagon, and reported from Haiti and Bosnia. She co-wrote a series on health care fraud, which won a National Headliners Award.
Hoffman covered the Pentagon and national security for 13 years, through conflicts in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan, and first wrote about Osama bin Laden in 1995.
She now is an editor for SHNS, where she steers daily coverage and investigative projects.
