University of Wisconsin-Madison alumnus and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Anthony Shadid will be on campus this week to deliver an inaugural lecture on ethics and journalism.

Shadid, a foreign correspondent for the New York Times who has been recognized for his reporting on the Iraq war, will speak on "The Truths We Tell: Reporting on Faith, War and the Fate of Iraq."

Shadid's lecture is at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 2, in the Alumni Lounge of the Pyle Center, 702 Langdon St.

The ethics lecture is co-sponsored by the UW Center for Journalism Ethics and the Lubar Institute for the Study of Abrahamic Religions, with additional support from the UW Lectures Committee and the UW-Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

Shadid graduated from UW-Madison in 1990 with bachelor's degrees in journalism and political science; he also studied Arabic. Shadid earned a Pulitzer Prize for international reporting in 2004 for his coverage from Iraq during and after the U.S. invasion in March 2003, and he was a finalist for the prize in 2007.
