David Burnham has been a reporter for UPI, Newsweek and CBS and has worked for over ten years for the New York Times in both New York and Washington. His articles about police corruption in New York City, based partly on information from Frank Serpico and David Durk, led to the formation of the Knapp Commission and reform of the police department. While working on a story about health and safety problems at the Kerr-McGee plutonium factory in Oklahoma, Burnham arranged a meeting with Karen Silkwood, a worker at the plant. Ms. Silkwood died under mysterious circumstances in a car crash on her way to that meeting. Over the years Burnham has won numerous awards, including the George Polk Award for Public Service, the Society of the Silurians Award for Reportorial Enterprise, the Page One Award for Crusading Journalism of the Newspaper Guild of New York and the Golden Typewriter Award of the New York Press Club. Burnham now lives in Washington, DC.
