Kimberly Dozier

A CNN Global Affairs Analyst and award-winning journalist, Kimberly Dozier brings more than three decades of experience reporting on foreign affairs, intelligence, counterterrorism, war and diplomacy. Her career has spanned reporting, analysis and newsroom leadership across broadcast, print and digital media. Dozier spent nearly two decades as a CBS News foreign and national security correspondent. She has also reported for TIME, the Associated Press and The Daily Beast, and held senior editorial roles at Military Times and The Cipher Brief. Her reporting has taken her to conflict zones and capitals including Kyiv, Kabul, Baghdad, Jerusalem, Islamabad and Cairo. In Washington, she has covered the White House, Pentagon, State Department and the intelligence community. From 2014 to 2015, Dozier held the Gen. Omar Bradley Chair at the U.S. Army War College, Penn State Law and Dickinson College. She was the first journalist—and the first woman—to hold the position, teaching military officers and graduate and undergraduate students about how media coverage shapes national security policy. Her book, “Breathing the Fire: Fighting to Survive and Get Back to the Fight,” recounts her recovery after a 2006 Baghdad car-bomb attack that killed her CBS News camera crew, the U.S. Army captain they were filming and his Iraqi translator. Dozier regularly speaks to national-security and military audiences about resilience, conflict reporting and the relationship between media coverage and national-security policy. She has addressed audiences at the U.S. Army War College, U.S. Naval Academy, Naval War College, Joint Special Operations University, National Defense University and the FBI Academy. Proceeds from her book have supported military-related charities. Her reporting has earned a Peabody award; multiple RTDNA/Edward R. Murrow awards; Society of Professional Journalists Sigma Delta Chi recognition; four American Women in Radio and Television Gracie awards, including a Grand Gracie; and the National Medal of Honor Society’s Tex McCrary award for coverage of Iraq—the first time it was given to a woman journalist.
