ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Tim Reiterman has specialized in investigative projects as a reporter and editor for most of his four decades in journalism. He was awarded his undergraduate degree and his master’s in journalism at UC Berkeley, where he began his reporting career covering the tumultuous 1960s and early 1970s for major publications. While attending college, Reiterman began working for the Associated Press, where his coverage included the Patty Hearst kidnapping and the Hells Angels. He moved to the San Francisco Examiner, where he investigated Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple before covering Congressman Leo Ryan’s trip to Jonestown in Guyana in 1978.
Reiterman was wounded in the jungle airstrip attack that killed Rep. Ryan—the first congressman to die in the line of duty—and three newsmen and a temple defector. He spent eighteen months investigating abuses within the temple before the tragedy and years following it unraveling why and how it occurred.
After stints on the Examiner’s investigative team and as city editor, Reiterman moved to the Los Angeles Times, where he led the investigative team and helped supervise Pulitzer Prize—winning coverage of the 1992 Los Angeles riots and the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Projects Reiterman directed and edited were nominated for several Pulitzer Prizes, won top awards from Sigma Delta Chi and Investigative Reporters and Editors in 1997, and won the Associated Press’s top sports enterprise award in 2000.
Reiterman lives in San Francisco, where he covers criminal justice, prisons, and state government for the Times. He has taught at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism for nearly a decade.
John Jacobs, Reiterman’s collaborator, was a widely respected journalist who died in 2000. Jacobs earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree at UC Berkeley, as well as a master’s degree at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He worked at The Washington Post from 1977 to 1978 before moving to the San Francisco Examiner. When Reiterman was hospitalized after the Port Kaituma shootings, Jacobs traveled to Guyana and largely took over responsibility for Examiner coverage of the Jones story there.
