Under Ronald Nixon, the Associated Press is receiving Emmy nominations and praise for its visual investigations, complete with 3D modeling, satellite imagery and other tech tools to create an accurate account of bombings and other casualties around the world. It’s no surprise since the award-winning investigative journalist has trained a substantial number of investigative journalists over the years. An author and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Nixon rose from global investigations editor and is now vice president of news, overseeing investigations, enterprise, grants and partnerships. Nixon has won a host of awards throughout his career, including an Emmy in 2020 for his work at the AP. He is co-founder of a team that includes Nikole Hannah-Jones of the Ida B. Wells Society for Investigative Reporting, which is dedicated to increasing and retaining reporters and editors of color as well as educating news organizations and journalists on the transformative impact of diverse voices. Nixon is also the author of "Selling Apartheid: Apartheid South Africa’s Global Propaganda War."
