About N&O Blogs

Joseph Neff has reported extensively on Blackwater since 2004, when his series, "The Bridge," chronicled the death of four of the company's contractors in Iraq. His subsequent reporting has revealed more about the events of that day as well as the multi-layered contracts that add millions to the cost of running the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Neff, 47, came to The N&O in 1992 and has covered prisons, police, courts and the legislature. His most recent major work was "Rush to Judgment," a five-part narrative series about Mike Nifong and the Duke lacrosse case.
