David Burnham is one of America's foremost investigative reporters. In more than 18 years with The New York Times he uncovered abuses, corruption and wrongdoing at powerful government agencies including the Internal Revenue Service, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the FBI and the New York Police Department. His reporting work with Frank Serpico and David Durk led to the formation of the Knapp Commission and reform of the New York Police Department. Karen Silkwood was driving to meet with Burnham on abuses at the Kerr-McGee nuclear power plant in Oklahoma when she was killed under mysterious circumstances. For 25 years Burnham has been co-director of the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), a nonprofit organization affiliated with Syracuse University.
