David Finkel has won a Pulitzer Prize and a MacArthur "genius grant" for his reporting on soldiers at war and at home, and on the attempted democratization of Yemen. He spoke to Nieman Storyboard about his methods: "If I’m having problems writing, it’s probably I haven’t organized well enough. If I’m having problems organizing, it’s probably because I haven’t reported thoroughly enough. You take a step back to the previous thing and it’ll solve the thing you’re in."
