	James H. Ottaway Sr. Endowed Professorship - Sydney Schanberg
		Sydney Schanberg is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who has worked as an investigative reporter and columnist.
		Schanberg resigned from The Times in 1985 after The Times tried to reassign him from writing a column to the newspaper's magazine.
		Schanberg then went on to write his column of commentary in Newsday until 1998.

	OJR article: Print Legend Sydney Schanberg Online
		Schanberg has had a few adventures in his day, from serving in the U.S. Army to climbing the New York Times ladder from copy boy to Southeast Asia correspondent (where his harrowing adventures eventually led to the movie "The Killing Fields"), to writing urban columns for Newsday.
		Schanberg wasn't exactly planning an online future before he received a phone call this spring from APB Chief Operating Officer and co-founder Mark Sauter, a TV journalist and book author whose work investigating the fate of American POWs was familiar to him.
		At the time, Schanberg was freelancing and pursuing his dream of becoming an internal press critic for a major media outlet, covering its own operations with the same energy and toughness that is normally used on Congress or Wall Street -- a crusade that failed to drum up serious interest.

	Online NewsHour: Pol Pot Dies - April 16, 1998
		SYDNEY SCHANBERG: No one knows a great deal about what was going on inside his head, but he came from a relatively prosperous farming family in a province 60 miles North of Phnom Penh.
		SYDNEY SCHANBERG: I think probably he more likely tapped in to the rage of the people in the deeply rural areas--rage over being exploited by people from the cities and towns.
		SYDNEY SCHANBERG: Pol Pot destroyed not only one quarter of the population, which is about two million people, but he destroyed almost the entire leadership class.

	Dith Pran presented in Journal section
		Later Schanberg was expelled from Cambodia and Pran headed toward his hometown disguising himself as a taxi-driver.
		Sydney Schanberg, the New York Times journalist, took the first flight to Thailand just after hearing Pran’s survival.
		Sydney wrote a moving story titled “The Death and Life of Dith Pran”; for the New York Times Magazine in January 1980.

	The Killing Fields
		Dith Pran, aide to NYT journalist Sydney Schanberg in Vietnam, stays behind as the war ends, and the horror of Pol Pot's Cambodia unfolds.
		Schanberg has an opportunity to rescue Dith Pran when the U.S. army evacuates all Cambodian citizens; instead, the reporter coerces his friend to remain behind to continue sending him news flashes.
		Regrettably, Schanberg is unable to return the favor later, and Dith is sent off to a rural reeducation camp, which he barely survives but eventually escapes.

	[No title]
		Sydney and Pran also became good friends, but when Lon Nol's government fell and Pol Pot took over, Schanberg was able to escape and Pran could not.
		As Schanberg heard more and more of the horrors of the Pol Pot regime, Communism gone mad, he castigated himself more and more for persuading Pran to remain even when it was no longer safe.
		The major weakness of the film, Schanberg's disappearance from the latter third of the film as an effective character, is a limitation of the true story.

	TIME.com: Schanberg's Score -- May 19, 1975 -- Page 1
		Schanberg, 41, learned the extent of the personal risk he had taken on the very first day of the Communist takeover.
		Schanberg got back to the Hotel Le Phnom just as it was being invaded by troops; he packed his bags and sprinted to the French embassy compound —his home for the next 13 days.
		The day before Schanberg broke his silence, Revolutionary Government officials in South Viet Nam lifted their news flout, and reports of relative calm in Saigon began trickling out from some of the 120 remaining foreign journalists in that city.

		SYDNEY SCHANBERG: Well, he was a man whose original name was Soloth Sar.
		SYDNEY SCHANBERG: It was like something obviously none of us had ever seen--two million people being forced to leave their homes and marched into the countryside, hospitals emptied, patients severely wounded being pushed up the avenues on their beds with serum bottles dripping into their arms.
		SYDNEY SCHANBERG: Well, since I'm not sitting there, I mean, I think it's rather presumptuous for me to say how it relates.

		Sydney Schanberg, you attended a meeting in early February with Michael Lacey and the whole Village Voice staff.

	BrothersJudd.com - Review of Sydney Schanberg's The Death and Life of Dith Pran
		Schanberg was a member of a Western press corps in South East Asia during the Vietnam Era which disastrously misjudged the intentions of both their own country and of those we were fighting against, with catastrophic results for the native populations.
		Schanberg are reunited, at a refugee camp in Thailand, and all is forgiven.
		Your criticism of Sydney Schanberg and other reporters in Southeast Asia during the 1960s and 1970s makes no sense to me. Yes, plenty of people were wrong about the Khmer Rouge and were stunned by their genocidal regime.

	Star journalists flock to the Web \| Tech News on ZDNet
		The latest case in point is Sydney Schanberg, the former Newsday and New York Times scribe famous for penning "The Killing Fields," the non-fiction work about the holocaust in Cambodia that sparked the movie of the same name.
		Schanberg, a very likeable guy, now 65, is the first to acknowledge that media bigshots were slow to wake up to the Web.
		But Schanberg says what excites him is less the money aspect than the fact that APBNews.com is committed to quality journalism, and that his new gig offers him a chance to probe White Collar crime, a topic he says has faded in many newsrooms.

		Sydney Schanberg was one of the few western correspondents to witness the Khmer Rouge takeover in 1975.
		ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Sydney Schanberg, you were there in 1975, when they emptied out Phnom Penh trying to drive everybody into the countryside.
		They're generally quite disciplined, but it really comes in the backdrop of--their strength really comes from the weakness of their political foes and the weakness of Cambodian society to allow an organization like this to continue to be so powerful even after what they did while in power.

	Movies That Begin With K
		Andrew Kopkind in is review for Nation magazine says, "Schanberg would not have lasted a week in Cambodia without Pran..." This point is well made in the film by Pran pleading with young members of the Khmer Rouge to spare the lives of Schanberg and three other journalists.
		Sydney does show some concern for Pran in the movie by arranging for Pran and his family to be evacuated along with the officials of the U.S. Embassy.
		Schanberg and Pran both knew that to get the story about the new regime, Pran had to stay.

		This past December at the SUNY New Paltz Winter 2001 Commencement, internationally known journalist, Sydney Schanberg, delivered such an address.
		With most of his nearly 40 years in journalism spent on newspapers, Schanberg has written extensively on foreign affairs, particularly Asia, and on American domestic matters such as racial problems, government secrecy, corporate excesses and the weakness of the national media.
		It has become common knowledge, gathered from opinion polls and simple, man-on-the-street interviews, that commencement speeches—they are by law required to contain a maximum number of clichés, truisms, platitudes, banalities and boilerplate—are the least remembered events on the planet.

		Goofs: Continuity: When Sydney is talking to Dith Pran in his room, Sydney's hairstyle changes between shots.
		By particularizing the conflict to that of the true-life relationship of two men, New York Times reporter Syndey Schanberg and his Cambodian apprentice and aide-de-camp, Dith Pran, the film forces a level of empathy that is at once uncomfortable and absorbing.
		Schanberg betrays the attitudes of a knee-jerk liberal, and I outgrew that, and maybe I feel superior for that, but Schanberg had AK-47s pointed at his head by 12-year-old brainwashed boys, and I didn't, so shut up already, know what I mean?

		When Schanberg received his Pulitzer, he said that he was accepting it for himself and for Dith Pran, the Cambodian who had acted as his translator, guide and factotum, and who had saved him from death at the hands of the Khmer Rouge.
		The film was based on an article that Schanberg had written for The New York Times Magazine, and its central theme was Schanberg and Pran's close friendship, from the time when they began working together in Cambodia to the time when they were reunited in the United States.
