Lauren Katzenberg

Although Lauren Katzenberg is not a Veteran of the Military, her two-year-long deployment as a journalist to Afghanistan made her in every way one of us. Upon returning to the United States, she co-founded both ‘War On The Rocks’ and Task & Purpose, two of the most widely respected news and culture websites dedicated to our modern Military. Lauren has helped the most recent generation of Veterans find their voices, spending countless hours working with hundreds of budding writers and journalists to develop the opinion-editorials and articles that chronicle the experience of the Global War on Terror. In doing so, she’s created a sense of community and a shared culture that binds together millions of young Veterans. Now, as the Editor of The New York Times’ At War Blog, Lauren is helping to bring the voices of these Veterans to the publication of record.
