More on that later.)</p> <p dir="ltr">Now we are very pleased to announce that Farnaz is expanding her role and will be the next United Nations bureau chief, while also helping us cover Iran.</p> <p dir="ltr">Since those first stories for us, Farnaz has gone on to distinguish herself as a tenacious, hard-hitting reporter, covering the American assassination of Iran’s top military commander, the<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/06/world/middleeast/iran-khamenei-general-soleimani.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/06/world/middleeast/iran-khamenei-general-soleimani.html&source=gmail&ust=1649242333500000&usg=AOvVaw3u31WMEyZQeKXjxw2oFaNt"> near war with Iran</a> that followed, and the twists and turns of the Iranian nuclear talks.

She was attending college in Tehran when Iran sustained a major earthquake. The Times sent a reporter from Washington to cover the story and a professor recommended he hire Farnaz as a fixer because of her fluent English. She spent the next few weeks working for The Times.</p> <p dir="ltr">“She was just fantastic,” the correspondent, Phil Shenon, recalls. “She had all the instincts of a fine journalist at the age of 19. And she was brave and willing to take risks.”</p> <p dir="ltr">For Farnaz, it was a revelation.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I knew by the end of the first day that I had found my calling in life and wanted to be a journalist,” she said.</p> <p dir="ltr">Here’s the asterisk: The articles made a big splash back at The Times, and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1990/07/16/world/in-iran-a-glimpse-of-ankle-can-bring-out-the-komiteh.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.nytimes.com/1990/07/16/world/in-iran-a-glimpse-of-ankle-can-bring-out-the-komiteh.html&source=gmail&ust=1649242333500000&usg=AOvVaw1bht_EPeggpcPQv2-HmmiV">at least one of them</a> made the front page.</p> <p dir="ltr">After college, she moved to New York, working as a stringer for the Metro desk while attending graduate school at Columbia University. From there, she went to The Providence Journal in Rhode Island and The StarLedger in Newark, where she covered the intersection of organized crime and waste management, or what she called “the Sopranos beat.”</p> <p dir="ltr">The Sept. 11 attacks sent her back overseas as a war correspondent, where Farnaz would chase wars and uprisings across the Middle East and Afghanistan for the next 15 years.</p> <p dir="ltr">She was the Baghdad bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal from the American invasion in 2003 to 2006. In 2004, she became inadvertently famous when a private email she’d written to friends and family went viral, giving a shockingly unvarnished view of life under the American occupation.</p> <p dir="ltr">That email became the germ of a book, “Waiting for an Ordinary Day,” about which<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/02/books/02kaku.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/02/books/02kaku.html&source=gmail&ust=1649242333500000&usg=AOvVaw2-M1XrDMoingpFZ7TnDoom"> The Times said</a> its “intimate portraits of ordinary Iraqis, combined with its forthright account of what it was like to be a reporter covering the war, leave us with a devastating sense of the fallout that the American invasion and occupation have had on civilians’ daily lives.”</p> <p dir="ltr">She went on to become The Journal’s deputy bureau chief for the Middle East and Africa, a senior writer, then United Nations correspondent, all prior to joining The Times in 2019.</p> <p dir="ltr">Farnaz has won more than a dozen national journalism awards, including the Overseas Press Club’s Hal Boyle Award and the Robert F. Kennedy Award for human rights reporting. In 2018, she was awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor for distinguished contribution to American society.</p> <p dir="ltr">As you can no doubt tell, she has already jumped into her new role. Still, let’s formally welcome her back to The Times.</p> <p dir="ltr">— Michael and Herbert</p> <div class="a-share a-dropdown" data-behavior="share dropdown"> <a href="#" class="a-dropdown__trigger"
