Anthony DePalma is the writer-in-residence at Seton Hall University. He was the first foreign correspondent of The New York Times to serve as bureau chief in both Mexico and Canada. Starting in 1993, he covered some of the most tumultuous events in modern Mexican history, including the Zapatista uprising, the assassination of the ruling party's presidential candidate and the peso crisis that quickly spread economic chaos to markets all over the world. In Canada, he reported from all ten provinces and three territories, covering natural disasters like the Quebec ice storm and the Red River flood, and important political events such as the creation of the territory of Nunavut. Mr. DePalma has also reported from Cuba, Guatemala, Suriname, Guyana, and during the Kosovo crisis, Montenegro and Albania. His book, Here: A Biography of the New American Continent, was published in the United States and Canada in 2001. From 2000 to 2002, Mr. DePalma was an international business correspondent covering North and South America, and he wrote over 85 of the Portraits of Grief that won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 2002. During his tenure with The Times, he has held positions in the Metropolitan and National sections of the newspaper. In 2003 he was awarded a fellowship at Notre Dame's Institute for International Studies where he wrote "Myths of the Enemy" about Cuba's Fidel Castro. After returning to The Times he became part of the team of correspondents and editors that produced the Class Matters series and book (Times Books 2005).
