MIKE McINTIRE
Books
“Mike McIntire has written a killer expose revealing the untold greed, grift and political games played by America's seemingly unstoppable gun industry. McIntire is both a superb reporter and storyteller, and Ricochet is a must read for anyone wondering why a country in which presidents and school children have been felled by assassins' bullets, cannot find a reasonable way to protect both gun rights and its citizens.”
—Jane Mayer, bestselling author of DARK MONEY
"McIntire, one of our best reporters, delivers a powerful look at the collective psychosis that makes our country gun crazy. Ricochet asks why we live like this — and delivers answers. An essential book for understanding why gun violence is as American as apple pie."
—Tim Weiner, bestselling author of LEGACY OF ASHES
“Precise, scrupulously reported, and written with moral seriousness, Ricochet is essential reading for anyone trying to understand how a nation arrived at a place where guns are the leading cause of death of children and teenagers — and what, if anything, might change that.”
—Greg Grandin, author of THE END OF THE MYTH
"Relentlessly reported, Champions Way is a rich, powerful, and at times chilling page-turner. More than giving us an exposé, McIntire serves up a first-rate narrative that will forever change the way readers look at one of the top college football programs in America."
― Jeff Benedict, best-selling author of THE SYSTEM
"In a damning, taut narrative, Champions Way shows how easy it is for college athletes to game the legal system for their own benefit. In merciless prose, Mike McIntire exposes how nuisances like sexual assaults and fake classes are no match for the big dollars associated with a winning football program."
― William D. Cohan, author of The Price of Silence
"Investigative reporter Mike McIntire has written a smart and fearless exposé of the madness and corruption undermining college football. From widespread academic fraud to the sexual predators to the hypocrisy of college presidents, it's all here in shocking detail and highly readable prose. A timely and important book."
― Gilbert M. Gaul, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and author of Billion-Dollar Ball
Mike is a journalist, author and editor whose work has been honored with three Pulitzer Prizes. As an investigative reporter at The New York Times, he looks for stories that reveal things people need to know about their health and safety, public institutions and elected leaders. Holding power to account through the disclosure of important information, often hidden or overlooked, is a guiding principle.
Mike shared Pulitzers in 2022 for reporting on the hidden financial incentives behind police traffic stops, and in 2017 for reporting on covert Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election. During the 2020 presidential campaign, he was part of a team that obtained and published Donald Trump’s long-concealed tax returns. Earlier in his career, his investigations of corruption in college sports and medical malpractice were each finalists for Pulitzer Prizes. He teaches journalism at New York University and was a Ferris Visiting Professor of Journalism at Princeton University.
